An early sponge ware decorated cow creamer with milk maid. C.1830.
Hand decorated in shades of plum, grey/black and green.
Maker unknown.
Dimensions: height 140mm (5.5 inches) / width 65mm (2.5 inches) / length 160mm (6.25 inches).
Condition: I haven't attempted to remove the stopper as it is attached with blue tack which seems very dry. There is a small visible chip to the underside of the stopper. Apart from that I am unable to see any other chips or cracks. The glaze feels consistent all over and I have checked with an eye glass so I don't believe there is any restoration. Some faint light micro-crazing can be seen using an eye glass. Please examine the photo's carefully as I have tried to photograph from all angles.
** Please note that due to eBay taking over complete control of shipping it is now no longer possible to combine separate purchases into the same box. This is extremely frustrating but it is totally out of my control **.
