A very similar vase, with the same panel of Falstaff, formed the central part of a three-piece garniture in the William M Keck II Collection sold by Bonhams in Los Angeles, 8-9 December 2014, lot 1100. This garniture will be illustrated in Charles Dawson's forthcoming book, Worcester Porcelain From Flight and Barr. A similar painting of Falstaff has also been noted on one of Thomas Baxter's jewelled cabinet cups. Another garniture of vases of the same shape and decoration, but with Baxter's landscapes rather than figure subjects, is illustrated by Henry Sandon, Flight and Barr Worcester Porcelain 1783-1840 (1978), p.171, pl.165.
