Several variations of compartmented dishes such as this were produced, typically with between three and five thrown and joined wells with tab handles between. Leslie B Grigsby refers to examples with three and five compartments in the Stoke-on-Trent collection which were excavated at Hanley. She suggests that they may have derived their inspiration from related 'border ware' forms produced in Surrey and Hampshire in the mid- to late 17th century.
