Footnotes

James Rouse Junior (1834-91) was from an accomplished family of porcelain artists and is recorded as an apprentice in figure painting at Coalport around 1847. He remained in Coalbrookdale until moving to Longton around 1870, where he was an independent 'China Painter' until his death. See David Manchip, Artists & Craftsmen of the 19th Century Derby China Factory (2004), pp.121-37. A rectangular plaque with an identical scene of two lovers by this artist was sold by Bonhams on 1 December 2010, lot 243.
