Late eighteenth-century style hand-painted creamware designs were revived at Etruria by Alfred Powell (1865-1960). Glaisher was told that the cup was certainly decorated by Alfred Powell, but it does not bear his mark. For Alfred Powell and Wedgwood, see Sharon Gater, 'Alfred and Louise Powell - an Introduction', Proceedings of the Wedgwood Society, no. 11 (1982), pp. 153-162; Maureen Batkin, Wedgwood Ceramics 1846-1959, London, 1982, pp. 139-56; Robin Reilly, Wedgwood, London, 1989, II, pp. 162-73; Cheltenham Art Gallery and Museums, Alfred and Louis Powell: Good Workmanship with Happy Thoughts, 1992, pp. 16-22.
