An English delftware posset pot, circa 1690

Probably Brislington, of bellied form, the strap handles with rolled lower terminals, painted in blue with highly stylised chinoiserie landscapes, including two seated Chinese figures, one holding a tall vase, 12.2cm high

Footnotes

Provenance
With Jonathan Horne, 1979
Graham Slater Collection

While this style of painting was also popular in London, the strong bluish-green tint to the glaze points to a Brislington origin for this posset pot.
