Footnotes

Provenance
John Alchin Collection

Landscape decoration without prominent figures or birds is rarely found on enamelled hexagonal creamboats, and yet blue and white examples are plentiful from just a year or two later. Another coloured creamboat of the same pattern and moulding is illustrated by Simon Spero, The A J Smith Collection (2006), p.204, no.109.
