The unusual decoration on the present examples is most often associated with porcelains made for the American market around 1800. Anita Wheelwright Baker Hinckley (1884-1972) was an author and collector, and resided in 72 Waterman Street, built in 1799 and named Edward Dexter House in Providence, Rhode Island, which later became the residence of the collector Charles L. Pendleton. He had given his collection to the Rhode Island School of Design in 1904, where his bequest is displayed in a space that is modeled after his house.
