Footnotes

Provenance
Ralph Kenber Collection

Adapted from the Lund's Bristol model, this shape probably corresponds to the 'Cream Ewers ribb'd' described in the Worcester factory's London warehouse price list of 1755-56. A creamboat similar to the current lot but on four pad feet from the R David Butti Collection was sold by Bonhams, 10 May 2006, lot 8. For a discussion on the variations of these fluted creamboats and the difficulties in attributing to Lund's or Worcester, see Ray Jones, The Origins of Worcester Porcelain (2018), pp.360-62.
