Fragments similar to the present lot were found in the Museum of London's excavations at Mortlake within a context datable to 1775-1800, see Sloane, Hoad, Cloake, Pearce and Stephenson, Early Modern Industry and Settlement, 2003. A very similar example from the S J McManus Collection that was inscribed 'J Butler 1785' in diamond point on the reverse supports this date range. This is illustrated by Lipski and Archer, , 1984, p.392, fig.1682 and was sold by Bonhams on 12 November 2014, lot 16.
