The same subject is found on one of the two Chamberlain grace mugs ordered from the factory by Lord Nevill in June 1813 at a cost of £42. See Geoffrey Godden, Chamberlain-Worcester Porcelain (1982), p.188, pl.227. The mugs, now in the Museum of Royal Worcester, formed part of one of the most important single orders place with the Chamberlain factory. The order specified delivery in four months and included dinner, dessert and breakfast services, chocolate cups, mugs and an inkstand. The inkstand is painted with similar cupids and is illustrated by John Sandon, The Dictionary of Worcester Porcelain (1993), p.240, colour plate 63.
Please note that this lot is signed 'H Chamberlain Pinxt' below the painted panel.
