A small Lowestoft Creamer, circa 1772
This small Lowestoft sparrow beak creamer is decorated in underglaze blue with the Two Dromedaries on a Raft pattern. This style of applied handle with thumb rest was used for a very short period from around 1772.
Unmarked.
Dimensions: Height 9 cm.
Condition: There is a tiny amount of glaze loss to the tip of the spout and a very small imperfection to the foot rim, possibly caused during removal from the kiln. A firing flaw can be seen inside the creamer and there is typical blurring to the underglaze blue. No cracks or restoration.
