Hi Len, I have one more for you. That's interesting that you initially didn't document Mulberry because many of the patterns were also used in Flow Blue. Petra Williams wrote in Book III that not all patterns were flown. As I mentioned I became interested in it because I found sherds and reasoned the Langford family must have owned some (my house is the homestead). This one is on page 45 of Book I: "In the left part of the center scene there is a large towered pavilion, the usual tall palm trees, and a bridge that crosses to an island at right. Two other islands are pictured in the background and a little boat flying a pennant is at upper right center." She adds a note: "The Pelew islands are situated 350 miles East of the Phillipines. There are about 75 islands , wooded, mountainous and surrounded by coral reefs." The first set of images is a pitcher, I'll post images of a sugar bowl separately.
