It is possible that the 'IH' monogram stands for the modeller and painter James Hughes. For a discussion see John Howell, Early Lowestoft, ECC Trans, Vol.11, Pt.2 (1982). Examples are recorded with the dates 1761, 1762 and 1764 and the circular panels are usually painted in blue with landscapes. By virtue of the very small number of examples found in the white, it is likely that only one white service was produced. Another white teabowl, presumably from the same service, is illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, Lowestoft Porcelains (1985), p.75, pl.76.
