Footnotes

A related bough pot was sold by Bonhams on 13 September 2006, lot 144. Each example has remarkably similar panels, one painted in blue and the present lot in delicate yet vibrant colours. The distinctive painting style can be seen on the celebrated mug in the British Museum signed 'I Rogers Pinxit 1757' under the base (acc. no. 1959,1103.1). It is clear that there are a number of hands at work in this style of painting at Worcester, see John Sandon, The Dictionary of Worcester Porcelain (1993), pp.290 and 292, col. pl.70 for a discussion of pieces attributed to I Rogers and the 'Mobbing birds' pattern.
