This rare form of tea canister and its decoration are derived from Worcester. The adaptation of Worcester's original 'Three Flower' design and its use at Lowestoft across a number of teawares including a complete miniature service held in Norwich Castle Museum is discussed by John Howell, Transfer-Printed Lowestoft Porcelain, ECC Trans, Vol.7, Pt.3 (1970), pp.215-6 and pl.184. See also a related sugar bowl and mustard pot illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, English Blue and White Porcelain (2004), p.297, pls.369-70. A similar tea canister printed with the 'Fence' pattern was sold by Bonhams on 2 May 2018, lot 404.
