This pattern was continued by the subsequent manufacturer Thomas Sneyd - The "Pekin" pattern is heavily influenced by Chinese export porcelain designs from the Qing Dynasty, featuring the signature central handle-basket (or casket) overflowing with stylized peonies and chrysanthemums.

This pattern and its attribution is discussed in the publication
