Provenance
Geoffrey Godden
Peter Scully Collection
Illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, Lowestoft Porcelains (1985), p.26, pl.14. Spittoons are rare at Lowestoft and rarer still with a handle. Both the form and the prints would appear to have been directly inspired by Worcester examples, although the present lot has a particularly exaggerated wide flared rim. A spittoon with a plain loop handle is illustrated by John Howell, Lowestoft From Well Known Collections, ECC Trans, Vol.14, Pt.3 (1992), p.246. An example without a handle was sold by Bonhams on 29 September 2020, lot 193.
