Note
Smaller bowls of this form made in the early 18th century which are decorated with busts of the Duke of Marlborough, Queen Anne, Prince George of Denmark or George I (see for example C.1692-1928 and C.1663-1928). Others have stylized plant and geometrical decoration. Later examples have rather simple floral and geometrical decoration, and probably date from the 1720s to 1740s.
