Executed in the very deep blue traditionally favored by American collectors, a nebulous border of foliage creates an impression of peering through a wooded park at the Neoclassical Regency villa portrayed in the center.

According to Coysh and Henrywood's Dictionary of Blue and White Printed Pottery,1780-1880,Volume I, the "Regent's Park" series included a number of London views based mainly on drawings by Thomas Shepherd with a few on engravings after West.

Our good friend Stephen McMaster, china collector, scholar and seeker after obscure truths, has identified this view as Shepherd's study of the villa built by Decimus Burton for the Third Marquess of Hertford. Since rebuilt, it is now the residence of the American ambassador.
