Both the painted decoration and the marks are by two different hands. The style of the painting is directly copied from the deutsche Blumen of Meissen, popular c. 1745-50, while the octagonal shape is copied from a n Arita Kakiemon porcelain original of c. 1700, which was also copied at Meissen, c. 1730-35. The shape was first used at Chelsea during the raised anchor period, c. 1749-52.
