A Worcester moulded creamjug, circa 1753-55

Of lobed pear shape with a scrolling silver-shaped handle, painted with a Chinese figure holding a wand, flowering plants and rockwork to the right and a red fence to the left, a brightly coloured bird on a flower branch to the reverse and two tiny moths below the spout, 8.5cm high

Footnotes

Provenance
The Cohen Collection, Albert Amor exhibition 1992, no.18
Simon Spero exhibition, 2015, no.35

The model is probably derived from silver by way of saltglazed stoneware. The painting of the Chinese figure has a slightly different feel to that on other pieces from the same class perhaps due to the more unusual colouring, the standard pink tunic replaced by taupe, a colour also used to highlight the flowers and rockwork.
