The shape of the finial and modelling of the mask handles on the present sugar-bowl point to its origins at Thomas Rose's factory, thus dating the service prior to 1810 when the firm was acquired by John Rose. Michael Messenger, Coalport 1795-1926, Suffolk, 1995, pp. 82-83 for a discussion on the differences in shape between the sugar-bowls and covers associated with the rival firms run by the two Rose brothers.
