Note:

A number of patterns developed by the Worchester porcelain factory in England during the mid 1700s were copied from Chinese originals produced earlier in the same century. One theory suggests that this present teabowl was created as a replacement or matching piece for this earlier Chinese tea service.

Another Worcester teabowl paired with a Chinese saucer in this pattern is found in the H. Rissik Marshall Collection at the Ashmolean Museum, UK.

伍斯特瓷器厂于18世纪中期在英国发展出多种图案,其中一些是对同世纪早期中国原作的效仿。 理论认为,这只伍斯特茶碗可能是为较早的中国茶具套组制作的配套器皿。

另一只带有相同图案的伍斯特茶碗与中国茶托组合,现藏于英国阿什莫林博物馆的H. Rissik Marshall收藏。
