A very unusual Coalport ovoid bulb pot and pierced cover, circa 1805
Enamelled in puce monochrome with a classical figure of a woman and attendant putto within an oval cartouche, surrounded by flowers and trailing foliage, against a gilt dot and sprig surround.
Perhaps decorated in the Thomas Baxter studio.
Height:12.5cm
No mark
Condition:the pot has a long crack from rim to near the base; the cover inside rim has had a chip restuck, has two further inner chips, and there is a little gilt rub to the outer rims.
