In researching the letter from Francesco Antonibon to Lady Charlotte Schreiber (and the correct spelling of "Antonibon"), I found that the cited work, "Marks and Monograms on Pottery and Porcelain" by William Chaffers does exist, but does not contain the cited information. A related work by the same author, "Marks and Monograms on European and Oriental Pottery and Porcelain with Historical Notices of Each Manufactory" contains the cited information. The citation has not been changed in the footnote in this ebook (page 24 of the original book).
