The source for 'Le Cheval Fondu' is an engraving after Hubert Gravelot, one in a series of scenes of children at play. See Cyril Cook, The Art of Robert Hancock, ECC Trans, Vol.3, Pt.1 (1951). A similar bowl from the Capell and Tuke Collections is illustrated by Joseph M Handley, 18th Century English Transfer-Printed Porcelain and Enamels (1991), no.8.21., described as Chaffers. This bowl was reattributed to Worcester and an earlier date suggested in Simon Spero's 2000 exhibition, no.19.
