The definition of the moulding seems to have been affected by the development of a more 'floury' porcelain body in the mid-1760s coinciding with the introduction of a very clear glaze, see Geoffrey Godden, Lowestoft Porcelains (1985), p.62. Arguably the teabowl in the present lot marginally predates the saucer, the moulding on the former being particularly crisp and the glaze more blue. The same moulding and border design are found on lot 234 in this sale.
