See Simon Spero and John Sandon, Worcester Porcelain 1751-1790, The Zorensky Collection, The Antique Collector's Club, 1996, no. 306 for a larger baluster vase and cover with the same mark and blue ground panels. This same blue and gold ground is also known paired with the 'Jabberwocky' pattern (op cit, no. 297), its lavish gilding an attempt to rectify the running of the cobalt into the reserved flowerheads.
