Punchard pictures pieces from this set in PLAYTIME POTTERY & PORCELAIN, p118, bottom. She deems it 'soft-paste' and circa 1820. Maurice & Evelyn Milbourn, in UNDERSTANDING MINIATURE BRITISH POTTERY & PORCELAIN, p106, Fig. 129.

The earliest include a tureen & plate illustrated in Fig. 129....indicative of an early date (the basence of a ring base on the plate and shape of the tureen). The (print) is overglaze, very clear and excellently transferred, probably by bat." The Milbourne eg. is a puce bat print with iron red (termed Indian Red) edges. This set is puce enameling on edges, and tureen handles and finial...hand painted. The bat prints range from dark black down to charcoal and lighter greys.
