Label TextVariations of this pattern are found on different forms in delft, including mugs and London-shaped punch bowls. A saucer of this pattern, but in blue and white, is in the Bristol Museum. Portions of a plate and saucers that probably had the same pattern, some decorated only in blue, were excavated in Williamsburg at Wetherburn's Tavern (9NA.1526) and at the Prentis House-Russell House site (17DA.0805).
