Production: Unidentified Staffordshire Pottery
White salt-glazed stoneware, with two lips and handles.
Off-white stoneware, slip-cast, and salt glazed. Two applied reeded loop handles in the middle on the side, with kicks at the bottom. One handle slipped during firing, giving it a slightly lopsided appearance. The boat is roughly oval and on an oval foot, with a wavy rim and shallow lips. Decorated with a Greek key border at the top and bottom on both sides, with gadrooning in between. The lips have a shell at the base of each, with a scale like pattern leading up the side of the boat to the lips. This scaling is also around the handles, and between the lips and first gadroon.
History note: Unidentified owner at Biggleswade where bought by Stanley Woolston, Cambridge; purchased from him for £4 on 18 April 18 1916, by Dr J.W.L. Glaisher, FRS, Trinity College, Cambridge.
