Jardinières are exceptional rarities in Worcester porcelain, perhaps because their size meant that they were difficult to fire. Indeed, the shape is often distorted and blue and white examples can be blurred. Another example of the shape painted in blue with the 'Fancy Bird in Tree' pattern from the Zorensky Collection is illustrated by John Sandon and Simon Spero, , 1996, p.423, no.566 and was sold by Bonhams on 22 February 2006, lot 281. The Kakiemon inspired design on this example includes elements of the 'Phoenix' pattern, see Sandon and Spero, 1996, p.249, no.298. There are also similarities to a pair of vases and covers, also from the Zorensky Collection, is illustrated by Sandon and Spero, 1996, p.252, no.302 and sold by Bonhams on 16 March 2004, lot 162, notably the dragon-like creature and border design.
