Creamware, turned, pierced, and lead-glazed
Pale cream-coloured earthenware, decorated with with engine-turning, piercing and pale yellowish lead-glaze. The circular bowl has an ogee profile and stands on a domed spreading foot rising into a short cylindrical stem. On the underside, at the top of the stem, there are several small pieces of grog of different shapes. The domed cover is also of ogee outline and has an aperture in the rim for a spoon, and a large rose-shaped knob on a stalk with three leaves and two buds. The outer edge of the foot, the lower part of the bowl and the upper part of the cover are decorated with zones of turned bands resembling basket-work, and the cover has a pierced repeating border of simple four-petal flowers separated by a lozenge with a circular hole above and below.
