porcelain, underglaze cobalt blue on white, painted mark to base, 6cm high; together with a PORTOBELLO POTTERY (ATTRIB.) JUG, printed blue on white with opposed scenes of Inveraray Castle, 14.5cm high
Note: The West Pans Porcelain Manufactory was founded in 1764 and produced a wide range of tablewares as well as figures until 1777. These are often characterised by the use of distinctively bright cobalt blue decoration and by a blue mark under the glaze of crossed 'L's, thought to correspond to the proprietor William Littler and his wife Jane. Littler resurfaced at West Pans four years after his bankruptcy following the failure of the Longton Hall Porcelain Manufactory.
