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.
Given by G.H.W. Rylands in memory of his mother, Betha Wolferstan Rylands.
