The gently lobed, ovoid body moulded with swags of drapery loosely suspended from loops, 9.4cm high
Footnotes
Provenance
Simon Spero exhibition, 1993, no.9
Crane Collection, Bonhams, 31 March 2010, lot 69
Whilst St James's figures and toys are uncommon, useful wares such as the present lot are extremely rare. This is probably the only example in private hands. The two other known examples have covers surmounted with strawberry finials. One was in the Lady Charlotte Schreiber Collection, now in the Victoria & Albert Museum (inv. no.414:152/&A-1885) and the other in Colonial Williamsburg, illustrated by John C Austin, Chelsea Porcelain at Williamsburg, 1977, p.151, no.142. All three are left in the white. A related St James's sugar bowl and cover also in the Victoria & Albert Museum (inv. no.C.49&A-1969) is painted with polychrome flowers.
