A rare Longton Hall creamjug, circa 1753-56

Of twelve-sided baluster form, with a sparrow beak lip and distinctive angular handle, painted in blue with a pavilion in between a willow tree and flowering plants on a rocky island, a scrolled border below the interior rim, 8.6cm diam, workman's mark P

Footnotes

An octagonal teabowl and saucer of this pattern and with the same border from the Watney Collection was sold by Phillips on 22 September 1999, lot 93. They are illustrated alongside two associated glazed fragments found on the Longton Hall site in Bernard Watney's paper, Excavations at the Longton Hall Porcelain Factory, Post-Medieval Archaeology 27 (1993), p.71, pl.2. The dodecagonal shape of the present lot is most unusual but would presumably have sat rather well with the eight-sided teabowl and saucer, the latter also with the workman's mark P.
