<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Brassey, post: 3642485, member: 15277&quot;]I found this about the differences between Worcester and Caughley&#039;s versions of The Fisherman pattern on York Museum website</p><p>Tea bowl and saucer with transfer printing decoration in underglaze blue. The pattern is known as &#039;fisherman&#039; or &#039;fisherman and cormorant&#039;. Originally, at the Worcester factory, this pattern was known as the &#039;pleasure boat&#039;. Both the Caughley and the Worcester factories used this pattern, which was one of the most common in late eighteenth century English porcelain. It is believed that the difference between the two factories can be seen in the fish held by the man on the boat. While the Worcester&#039;s fish is thin the Caughley one is shorter and fat. If so, this tea bowl and saucer can be attributed to the Worcester factory.</p><p>Production date start</p><p>1775</p><p>Production date end</p><p>1780[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
