Circa 1680 The blue ground of pale tone, with loop handle and slightly flared cylindrical neck, with white enamelled decoration to neck and handle (minute chipping and flaking to rim) 23/4 in. (7 cm.) high NOTES Blue-ground English delft vessels are termed 'bleu Persan' after the Nevers faience vessels which they emulated. The present lot would seem to be unrecorded in the literature, and no other similar recorded vessel would seem to be decorated in this distinctive manner. For other vessels of similar form but with differing decoration, see F.H. Garner, English Delftware (London, 1948), no.34A; John C. Austin, British Delft at Williamsburg (Williamsburg, 1994), no.91; and Michael Archer, Delftware, The Tin-Glazed Earthenware of the British Isles, A Catalogue of the Collection in the Victoria and Albert Museum (London, 1997), no.C.11.
