Other pieces from this service are illustrated by Hanscombe, op.cit., 2000, pp.126-129, figs.117-121, including the teapot in the Museum of Royal Worcester. A coffee cup and saucer from the Sir Jeremy Lever Collection was sold by Bonhams on 7 March 2007, lot 172. Of the various animals depicted on pieces of the service, some are recognisable and some imaginary or 'composite' beasts. Although there is a strong link to O'Neale's style, it is possible that this is the work of a pupil or follower of the master working at Worcester.
