Head of Sale

Director
Provenance
Weston Taylor Collection
This early shape has an appealing wide belly over a neatly turned footrim, the body also gently flattened in its profile. The form is comparable to a mug in the Susi and Ian Sutherland Collection sold by Bonhams on 3 October 2007, lot 146, but the unusual interpretation of the 'Willow Root' pattern more akin to that exhibited on lot 145 in that sale. Elements of the design on the present lot, such as the particularly detailed figure in a boat and the comma-like dashes to both sides of the handle terminals, also occur on a mug in the Watney Collection sold by Phillips on 22 September 1999, lot 145.
