S. Howard, Chinese Armorial Porcelain, 1974, p. 955 where the author points out that these bowls, together with the similar, more commonly-found bowls inscribed 'Wilkes and Liberty', are more political than heraldic. John Wilkes (1725-1797) was a popular campaigner for liberty and was elected to Parliament on several occasions, as well as elected Mayor of London in 1774. Lord Mansfield, representing 'The Establishment', was Lord Chief Justice from 1756-1788.
