A Caughley blue and white asparagus server, circa 1780-90, vertically printed in blue with the Pleasure Boat pattern within cell diaper and spear head borders, unglazed base, unmarked, 7.5cm wide See Godden, Geoffrey, Caughley and Worcester Porcelain 1775-1800, Herbert Jenkins, 1969 (hereafter referred to as C & W P), page 28, for a short note on asparagus servers. According to Godden they were sold at 6d each, the same price as charged for egg cups, eye baths and other small objects. When the Caughley stock was sold in November 1799, asparagus servers were mentioned in the advertisement. See also Caughley Society newsletter no. 34, June 2008, for a discussion of asparagus servers by Chris Brown and their possible use as a ring of servers around a central plate.

A rare Caughley egg stand/cup, circa 1785, the bowl supported on a pedestal stem above a spreading foot, printed in underglaze blue with the Pleasure Boat pattern, below a cell and spear head rim, unmarked, 6cm high With an accompanying note signed by Henry Sandon, 8th June 1990, stating: `A very rare Caughley egg cup with Fisherman and Cormorant pattern.
