Footnotes

Provenance
Graham Slater Collection

The honey pot is a distinctive form in Staffordshire slipware and curiously it has few parallels in delftware or saltglazed stoneware. This splendid example is a rare survivor, retaining its original cover. An example with all-over spotted decoration in similar colouring but lacking its lid was sold by Woolley and Wallis, 19 February 2019. Another with a cover was in the Rous Lench collection, 29 May 1990, lot 91. A marbled honey pot with a cover in the Potteries Museum is illustrated by David Barker and Steve Crompton (2007), p.84 (inv. no.2782).
