Description

Cream-coloured earthenware, bat-printed onglaze in black and painted in black enamel. Ovoid with projecting spout and plain loop handle. Decorated on one side with an oval print of a young woman in pseudo-classical costume holding a lamb on her knee, with trees in the background. Over the top is a wreath incorporating a quiver and arrows, and below two sprays of stylised foliage tied in the centre with a bow. Below is inscribed 'Ah, happy Innocence, on whose chaste Cheek/The spotledd Rose of Virtue blushes meek.'. On the other side there is an almond-shaped print of a young woman standing beside an older woman seated at a spinning wheel in a garden with hollyhocks beside a fence, a book on a low table, and a chicken, framed by a repeating border of three beads and an oblong, and a narrowly spaced 'ladder' border. Under the lip there is a printed wreath of two types of stylised foliage with a bow at bottom centre, enclosing 'M;HUNT.'. Black bands run round the base, the rim, and the outline of the lip, and down both sides of the handle.
