Collector's Notes:
Similar patterns are shown as part of the late 18th c. Bertinazzi sample book reproduced in Kopylov's Italiens; see examples #30, p. 325 and #122, p. 337. Another example is shown in the digitized Campione of c. 1800 (p. 19, #101), albeit with thicker floral spray impressions and lacking the all-over dot background... possibly a new block for an existing pattern?
