The lower part of the bowl is decorated with engine-turned bands, extending upwards for half an inch. Above is a narrow blue enamel band serving as the ground line for four applied sprigs of classical gods and putti: two putti with torches, a god and an eagle, a putto hugging a lion and a seated goddess holding up a putto; these are separated by either a plant and a butterfly or a plant and a small bird. The rim is turned and finished with a blue band; there is a wider blue band halfway up the footring. The exterior is smear-glazed, the underside is unglazed and the interior glazed.C.58-19971accession numberC.58-199775579priref75579urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/75579https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/75579referenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumGiven by G.H.W.

The reliefs on this example have been identified as 'Sportive Love', 'Cupids with Torches', 'Jove with an Eagle', and 'The Power of Love'. All four are commonly found on wares by Chetham and Woolley, and the engine turning pattern around the lower part is also typically found on their products. Thus, although unmarked, the basin was probably made by Chetham and Woolley, of Commerce Street, Longton, Staffordshire. The factory, in the Lane End district of Longton, was close to that run by John and William Turner, later Turner, Glover & Simpson. The presence of similar reliefs on Turner wares suggests that the sprigs might have been bought in the Turner bancrupcy sale in 1806.James Chetham and Richard Woolley are credited with introducing this type of fine-grained, semi-translucent feldspathic stoneware, c.1795, and became a significant producer of teawares, jugs and vases in this new material. The business was continued by James Chetham’s widow Ann Chetham from 1809-1814, and then under various family ownership until 1871.This basin is in the style of white felspathic ‘Castleford-type’ teawares, named for the Castleford Pottery in Yorkshire run by David Dunderdale & Co. from 1790 to 1821, though other factories made similar wares. Typically plain white or white with edges lined in blue or another colour, or black basalt, the smear-glazing makes the most of the crisply-moulded ornament, whilst the stoneware would be durable in an everyday setting. There are several examples in the Fitzwilliam Museum.referenceterm-106498adlib-term-106498272179a1-524b-3f36-aab7-bf342ce484d619th Century, Early#referenceterm-110418adlib-term-11041805d711c6-8b77-3dc8-801e-fbc4d8c52049literalEnglandEnglandcountryliteralStaffordshireStaffordshireregionLongtonreferenceterm-42825adlib-term-42825858e5d17-b554-33d6-936f-25b16f72f39dstonewareDiametercm15.7Heightcm7.6referencemedia-45587adlib-media-455877ba71203-f5c2-3714-9cbb-549b4534fd80jpegaa/aa4/C_58_1997_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162623154521imagejpegaa/aa4/mid_C_58_1997_281_29.jpg1heightpixels362widthpixels50016162623154521imagejpegaa/aa4/C_58_1997_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162623154521imagejpegaa/aa4/preview_C_58_1997_281_29.jpg1heightpixels181widthpixels25016162623154521image0media
