The decoration of this monteith (a bowl for rinsing and cooling wine glasses) was probably inspired by Japanese Kakiemon porcelains which had been imported since the 1680s. Kakiemon designs are uncommon on English delftware but were frequently imitated on soft-paste porcelain in England and on the Continent.
