References	ref. Godden -Coalport & Coalbrookdale Porcelain- pl 42 for the enlargements of Baxter's 1810 watercolor of the Baxter decorating studio interior. The Bute shape cups can be seen right foreground, while the definitive handle treatment of anthemion .......... in gold can be seen on the fluted cup upside down left foreground. The style of flower painting is typical of Baxter, as is the elegant gold lines and stars, his gold being very prone to wear.
