Lot Essay

This is one of the earliest versions of this design. A decade or two later, this central scene continued to be used, both on its own and combined with the coat-of-arms of Powell with Cleland in pretence (see D. S. Howard, Chinese Armorial Porcelain, London, 1974, p. 314), an example of which is in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
