Mavis Bimson Collection
Both teapots are discussed by Mavis Bimson, Enamelling on fine Saltglazed Stoneware: the 'W' painter, ECC Trans, Vol.19, Pt.1, p.79. It is most unusual to find saltglaze signed by the same hand or workbench. The decoration on these two teapots is closely related, the same floral motifs on the spouts and handles and similar green medallions within the borders. The potting characteristics are also similar. The feather-like motif above the W on the larger pot occurs on Dutch Delft from the De Klaauw factory, perhaps an influence on the decorator of this lot.
