The drawing of this type of glass, with freely drawn chinoiseries in bold colours on a densely opacified glass body, have been compared to the decoration found on Staffordshire salt-glazed stoneware and on the early chinoiseries on Worcester porcelain.
Glass of this type was once attributed to Bristol and the delft painter William Edkins; a Staffordshire attribution is now generally accepted.
