Abstract
Other methods of attribution of service production in porcelain factories are discussed and the identification of selected copies of original specifications can be differentiated by subtle changes to the design, ground colour, scene distribution, composition or a variation in pattern numbers. The difficulties in attribution of an original service arising from its sale and re-acquisition are also mentioned and some examples are chosen to indicate the resultant problems caused in provenancing.
