Provenance
Geoffrey Godden Collection, Sotheby's sale, 17 July 1959, lot 166
Illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, Lowestoft Porcelains (1985), p.178, pl.221. The demand for commemorative porcelain decorated in underglaze blue seemingly continued into the last decade of production at Lowestoft, despite the concurrent popularity of polychrome pieces. See John Howell, Lowestoft Porcelain: The Final Decade, ECC Trans, Vol.17, Pt.3 (2001), p.336, fig.14 for a related jug inscribed 'Thos. Wright/ 1796'.
