Production: Leeds Pottery (Probably)
Oval bowl and cover (perhaps for pot pourri). Pale cream-coloured earthenware, moulded, the pierced cover with an applied moulded flower knob, covered with translucent lead glaze. The bowl is oval with deep sides moulded with six very shallow lobes or panels, and stands on a footring.
