The caster is vase-shaped with a spreading foot, a pierced domed top, and a small finial of the same shape. The underside of the foot has a round central hole to admit the pepper or sugar. There are bands of uncoloured gadrooning round the edge of the foot, the shoulder, and a short distance below the projecting edge of the domed top (which is not removable). The underside and the exterior above and below the shoulder have a turquoise ground. The area below the shoulder is decorated with pink roses and other flowers and foliage on a wavy stem. The area above the shoulder has upward pointing lappet-like outlines filled by a yellow and pink half-flower and three leaves. Between the points there is a pink and blue plant motif. Above the top band of gadrooning there is a narrow red border of circles enclosing dots between horizontal bands. The projection below the cover is turquoise with pink and green half-flowers alternating with yellow half leaves. Seven of the holes in the top are outlined in pink and black, and the finial is turquoise.

On the other hand, the pot seems rather small for a sugar caster. reference term-113159 adlib-term-113159 4bdfb4a7-b307-3dfa-a3d6-8ada4683271e 18th Century, third quarter reference term-107658 adlib-term-107658 824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270 literal England England country literal Staffordshire Staffordshire region Staffordshire reference term-37110 adlib-term-37110 ef92f1a8-1400-3fa3-863f-e099781ea442 salt-glaze reference term-42825 adlib-term-42825 858e5d17-b554-33d6-936f-25b16f72f39d stoneware Diameter cm 6.4 Height cm 15.2 reference term-109885 adlib-term-109885 4c860c5e-db23-3ab5-87cf-f9f71528487f pepper pot caster history note unknown before donor, Mrs W.D.
