Production: Unidentified Staffordshire factory
Press-moulded salt-glazed stoneware. Circular with two C-scroll handles on opposing sides.
White salt-glazed stoneware, the lower part thrown and the upper part press-moulded. The lower part is hollow. It stands on a circular base which slopes outwards to create a foot, and then outwards again for about 2.5 cm before rising vertically to the rim. On opposing wides there is a moulded C-scroll handle. The closed top resembles a plate with a sloping rim rim and shallow well. The rim has a relief border design of panels of trellis diaper and basket work separated by scrolls, broken at 12 o’clock by a rectangular aperture to admit the hot water (originally with a cover now missing).

This type of borders occurs on plates and dishes with references to the King of Prussia and therefore probably made during the Seven Years War, c. 1757-62. The earliest known invoice for a dinner service, probably of salt-glazed stoneware is in 175 , in the archives of the 4th Duke of Bedford, at Woburn.
