Catalogue Note
For an almost identical example, now in the Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, presumably from the same original set, see J.Rush, A Beilby Odyssey, p.141, pl.104, which has faint traces of gilding to the rim of the bowl and foot. The present lot has some very minute traces of gilding to the foot. A further example may be found in an English private collection.
