Lovely, crisp printed image, a small floral device inside the base and a double blue band inside the scallop shaped rim. Unmarked, c.1780.
These cream boats were made at Worcester also in an identical shape and, where unmarked, can be very tricky to tell them apart. Very subtle variations in the pattern, the potting and and a slight difference in the curve of the thumb rest shows that this example is Caughley. Reference: Caughley & Worcester Porcelains by Godden.
it measures 11cm (4 5/16") long, 6.3cm (2 1/2) high and 7.7cm (2 5/8") wide.
In excellent condition with no damage, repair or restoration. Minor discolouration where the glaze is thin, around the foot, and some spots on the rim and the handle thumb rest. Minor handling wear, an expected slight dullness to the glaze at the spout rim.
