See Bernard Rackham, Catalogue of The Glaisher Collection of Pottery & Porcelain in The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, 1935, Vol. I, p. 183, no. 1439, p. 204, no. 1631 and cl. pl. XIII for two blue-dash royal portrait chargers adapted from the same print source as the present example. The first, depicting Charles II, is inscribed C2R and faces the same direction as the present example. The second, inscribed KW and also depicting the clean-shaven William III, faces the opposite direction. All three are adapted from the same print source - the engraved frontispiece by Cornelis van Dalen for Nalson's Jounal of the Tryal of Charles I published in 1684. For a reproduction of the engraving, see E.A. Downman, 'Blue Dash Chargers and the Origin of their Designs', The Connoisseur, Vol. lxxxii, 1928, p. 225.
