Reference
This type of mug was copied directly from a Derby original that dates to around 1780-1785 and was created by William Duesbury II (1763-97) when the company was known as William Duesbury & Co.
For a similar mug, see Sargent: The Copeland Collection: Chinese & Japanese Ceramic Figures, Peabody Essex Museum, 1991, p 230.
See also Howard; The Choice of the Private Trader, page 195, plate 226, and we quote "Modeled accurately after a Derby original in the form of a bearded face …. The Derby originals usually bear a puce mark of c. 1785, and this popular pattern which, with its sailor-like cap, has been called "Sailor's Head", "Rodney" or "Neptune", was made at Chelsea, Derby and other factories - examples of these now being more numerous than the Chinese copies." For a Ralph Wood version of this type, see R.K. Price Ralph Wood Figures, plate XXXVIII no 68.
