Footnotes
Jones and Son was only in existence for a short period between circa 1826 and 1828, and the 'British History' series may have been the only dinner service they produced. The series is discussed by A W Coysh and R K Henrywood in The Dictionary of Blue and White Printed Pottery 1780-1880 (1982), p.58.
