An English opaque white glass bottle and an enamel inkwell, both probably South Staffordshire, circa 1750-60

The plain bottle painted in bright enamels with a Chinoiserie subject of a boy pushing another child on a cart, 10.6cm high (foot chipped), the enamel inkwell of cruciform shape with a bianco-sopra-bianco ground, each side transfer printed in purple with figures in landscapes, 4.4cm high (chip and fine cracks) (2)

Footnotes

The close similarity to painting found on early Worcester porcelain is immediately apparent and this has led to suggestions that this large group of painted opaque glass vases was made in Birmingham or South Staffordshire rather than Bristol or London.
