The attribution to Swansea is based on a number of factors. The shape. the size. the colour of the porcelain under daylight lamps and the decoration. The cup is identical in every dimension to this marked example. The foot has the same bulbous string and the same diameter. The saucer also matches the form and daimeter of the marked example

The internal decoration on the cup and on the saucer is typical of Swansea. The porcelain has a pale duck egg colour under daylight lamps.
