A very similar dish with a wavy rim is illustrated by Bernard Rackham, Catalogue of the Glaisher Collection (1987), pl.16A and Early Staffordshire Pottery (1951), pl.20. It bears the initials 'WA' in low relief close to the head of the horse. Another related example is illustrated by Ross E Taggart, Catalogue of the Burnap Collection (1967), no.12. There are some similarities in style to dishes decorated with George and the Dragon.
