Literature: Hyland, Peter 'The Della Robbia Pottery, Birkenhead, 1894 -1906', 2013, pp. 141 and 177.
Note: The painted mark 'A' is often ascribed to an 'Agnes *', an early decorator. The simple incised F on earlier pieces is ascribed to clay decorator Harry Fletcher, however the more cursive F on this example suggests it was decorated by John Fogo.
