Reference : For a similar trio. see Holgate D. ‘Newhall and its Imitators’. Plate154 and Page 46 for a discussion of the compressed loop handle peculiar to bone china products. Such an idiosyncratic feature is important as this pattern was previously used on hard paste porcelain services that featured a circular loop handle and confirms the body to be the later bone china alternative.
