Illustrated by Ray Jones, The Origins of Worcester Porcelain (2018), p.518. A similar jug although without a border, from the John Alchin Collection was sold by Bonhams on 15 December 2020, lot 11. The border is closely related to that on a vase in the British Museum illustrated by Aileen Dawson, The Art of Worcester Porcelain (2007), p.43.
