The pattern 266 is in the 'First Pattern Book' copied from earlier pattern books, and apparently compiled between 1810 and 1814. See Robin Reilly, Wedgwood, London, 1989, I, p. 285, pl. 338E, bottom left. The shape approximates to no. 297 on P. 20 of the 1817 Catalogue, reproduced by Reilly, op. cit., II, p. 417, p. 645.
