Provenance
Brian Wood Collection
This is a very rare form at Lowestoft. An early blue and white example from the Hunting Collection is now in the Norwich Castle Museum and is illustrated by Sheenah Smith, Lowestoft Porcelain in Norwich Castle Museum, Vol.1 (1975), pl.40, and by Christopher Spencer, Early Lowestoft (1981), fig.128. The only other example recorded in the literature is similar to the present lot but lacks its cover and stand and is illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, Lowestoft Porcelains (1985), pl.153 and by John Howell, Some Notes on the Introduction of Polychrome Decoration at Lowestoft, ECC Trans, Vol.9, Pt.3, pl.164(d). It is discussed at p.264 and described as the only recorded polychrome example.
