Note :

The “Old Japan Fan” pattern was also produces at Meissen and Chelsea, where it was generally known as

“Old Mossaick”.  There is discussion as to whether Worcester copied it from a Japanese original --

or from a Meissen example.  

At Worcester, the pattern occurs on tea, chocolate and dessert services.

It is found listed in a 1769 sale catalog, and occurs until the 1770s’. 

Flight and Chamberlain are known to have made the pattern, but rarely. 

Coalport and Derby also made copies
