Production: Unidentified Staffordshire factory
Red dry-boded stoneware with mould applied sprigs
Red-dry-bodied stoneware, thrown and turned, with applied moulded handle and spout, decorated with mould-applied sprigs. The pear-shaped pot stands on a circular base. It has a fluted upward curving spout and a foliated loop handle with an upward kick at the lower end. The circular cover is slightly domed in the middle and has a sloping border and a flange which fits inside the neck of the pot. The finial is cone-shaped with a ventilation hole in the centre. The sides have two spaced turned horizontal bands, and are decorated over them with formal arrangements of scrolls and stylized flowers and foliage. The cover has a wreath of scrolls and foliage around the knob.
History note: A woman living in Devonshire Street, Cambridge (near the Railway Station) who sold it for 27s. 6d. to Stanley Woolston, jnr of Hyde Park Corner, at the corner of Lensfield and Hills Road, Cambridge on Aug 5, 1913, for £2.5.
