A blue and white dish with almost the same decor is in the collection of the Historic Deerfield in Delaware, in the United States (1991-155f). The border decoration is different. The trees on both dishes are sponged and not painted. Details in the execution of the painting make it clear that they were executed by the same pottery painter. The blue and white dish is wrongly attributed to England.
