Description: | Oblong plaque transfer printed and overpainted in brilliant enamel colours on white enamel with a long-tailed Macaw, perched on a jardiniere, about to peck at a group of peaches, grapes and other fruit. This design was engraved by Hancock and appears in various versions on Worcester and Caughley porcelain and occurs, in the version above, in the drawing numbered 4 in the small booklet ''Printed for R. Sayer in Fleet Street'' in the collection of the late Mr. Aubrey Toppin. Another version with the bird perched on a branch signed by Hancock appears on page 74 of ''The Ladies' Amusement'' 2nd edition.
