Diam. 4 7/8". This scene, inscribed youth playing
at cricket, is derived from James Coles The Second Part of Youthful
Diversions, 1739, and proved to be one of the main factors that led Charleston
and Mallet in 1971 to propose a British rather than Continental origin for
the A-marked group of porcelains. |
