The moulded and painted decoration here are very similar to these features on the 'Husk Service', which Wedgwood supplied to Catherine the Great in 1770. Many pieces of this service were made in moulds cast from carved wooden models by John Coward, a designer/modeller employed by Wedgwood in the years around 1770.
