In his catalogue entry for C.1349-1928 Glaisher wrote 'I have several other delft cups or unguent pots which have been buried . . As for these unguent pots a number of years ago at the sale after his death of Mr Smith who had made several collections of pottery dug up in London I bought a whole box-full of these unguent pots all of which turned out to be plain except one or two . .
