Bow inkpots are very rare. An example of this shape was illustrated by Simon Spero, 1994, p.19, no. 28. See also Phillips, The Billie Pain Collection of English Porcelain, 26th November 2003, lot 61. The example shown above is painted in a lighter shade of blue and has a creamier body,  perhaps suggesting an earlier date.
