A rare Lowestoft potting pot or coaster, circa 1760-65

Of deep cylindrical form with a stout turned footrim, the exterior painted in blue with a flowering peony plant trailing out from a scrollwork stump highlighted with fine cross-hatching, a 'tramline' border below the foot and a diaper border below the rim, a single floret within the interior, 12.3cm diam, painter's numeral 6 inside footrim (cracked and chipped)

Footnotes

Provenance: The Gilbert Bradley Collection. Illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, Lowestoft Porcelains (1985), pl 102, p 90. The basic design of a trailing peony issuing from either rockwork, scrollwork or a boldly painted mound is often seen on Lowestoft porcelain of the early period, with considerable variations in the details. Compare the design on this lot with those on the mug, Lot 140 and the small teapot and cover, Lot 137.
