An inscribed and dated royal armorial colliers jug, 'Thomas Fields 1735', almost certainly by the same hand was in the A.T. Morley Hewitt Collection, sale Sotheby's, London, 10 February 1959, lot 17, illustrated by Leslie B. Grigsby, English Slip-Decorated Earthenware at Williamsburg, Williamsburg 1993, p.19, pl.14 and pp. 34-35, pls. 38 & 39. The author suggests Fields may be the potter rather than the owner of the jug. Another jug signed and dated 'John Hockin 1748' from the Bertram K. and Nina Fletcher Little Collection; Sotheby's, New York, 21 October 1994, lot 514, appears to be by the same hand.
