I know that the number of

I know that the number of toes the Dragon has (in this case 5) is the sign that it is an Imperial Dragon representing the Emperor either Chinese or Japanese.  In early times, the English commenced copying old Chinese and Japanese styles such as the "Canton" pattern and others resulting in the "Flow Blue" items you see in English porcelain today.  Coalport was also one of the English Porcelain companies that copied to quite a high quality, Sevres porcelain so it would not be unlikely that they copied Imperial Chinese porcelain either.  The 1750 will probably be the date that Coalport porcelain first started production but many people get this date confused with the date of production of this piece.

I hope this helps
