White, Mary, Eating at the Whites' House, Vol.3, 2022, p.419, fig.b
The low form of this creamboat without a foot is highly unusual and Mary White suggests that the inspiration for this shape may have been Staffordshire saltglaze stoneware. Indeed, bands of overlapping leaves in saltglaze style were a popular form of decoration at Limehouse, see for example lot 127 in this sale. A very similar example to the present lot is illustrated alongside a matching footrim waster excavated from the factory site in the ECC's Limehouse Ware Revealed, 1993, p.44, figs.94 and 96 and was sold as part of the Watney Collection by Phillips on 1 November 2000, lot 902. The same example is illustrated again by Rosalie Wise Sharp, , Vol.1, 2015, p.178, no.603. See also the example illustrated together with a matching waster of a handle from the factory site by David Barker and Sam Cole, , 1998, p.49, fig.15.
