Provenance
Bonhams sale, 5 December 2007, lot 320
Twinight Collection

Illustrated by John Sandon, Worcester Porcelain (2009), p.22. Thomas Grainger and John Wood were both trained as painters at Chamberlain before setting up on their own as manufacturers. The decoration of this mug is very much in the Chamberlain tradition and is quite likely to be the work of either John Wood or Thomas Grainger themselves, acting as enamellers in their own factory.
