Spero, Simon, 'Vauxhall Porcelain - A Tentative Chronology', ECC Trans, Vol.18, Pt. 2, 2003, p. 350, no. 2;

This is one of just five pieces of dated Vauxhall porcelain which have been crucial in establishing a chronology for the factory. It was sold as lot 154 in a Sotheby's sale sometime prior to 1965, but its whereabouts was unknown until it was rediscovered in 2019. It is the only dated piece of Vauxhall in which the date has been incised rather than inscribed at the factory, and Mary White suggests that it was presumably made for a special occasion for 'EN'. For another documentary Vauxhall bowl, see lot 179 in this sale.
