Archer, op. cit., illustrates a near identical basket, differing only in the treatment of the two figures in the central medallion, p. 279, G.13. The author suggests a production site of Lambeth based on the large number of sherds unearthed in the area by F. H. Garner painted with similar decoration. Such figural scenes appear on dated delft of the first decades of the 18th century including two cups dated 1707 and 1715 respectively, see Louis L. Lipski and Michael Archer, Dated English Delftware, Tin-glazed Earthenware 1600-1800, London, 1984, pp. 214-215, nos. 947 and 954.
