This one I'm slightly less sure about - the shape of her chin and eyebrows seems different and it's hard to tell if she has the same distinctive profile. But that might also be a question of age or changing style - it certainly wouldn't surprise me to learn she is the same person, or a relative.

I definitely think they're all the same woman! There's something very distinctive in all her facial features, even in the arch of her eyebrows.

And always before age 40, that’s what average lifespan means.

I’m also interested in this distribution model because TJ Maxx is a major source of William Morris goods in the US, specifically William Morris At Home, a brand that works with the William Morris Gallery - so again, a museum/homewares crossover. I’d bet it’s all the same wholesaler.

Another branch of my family also owns a National Portrait Gallery London Admiral Lord Nelson mug we picked up at another North Carolina TJ Maxx maybe 15 years ago.

Today they also had a similarly baffling clutch of mugs from this UK-based cycling-centered designer: thehandmadecyclist.com
