Description:
English pearlware press-molded flask, decorated in "Prattware" colors of brown, green, white, and orange, after the potter, William Pratt, who developed the palette at his factory in Lane Delph, Staffordshire. These are the typical range of colors available for underglaze painted decoration, a palette limited to colors derived from metallic oxides that could withstand the heat of the glaze firing. The rim is edged in brown over alternating raised orange and green leaves. One side of the flask has a white stag with brown spots and orange antlers sitting in green foliage with a tree and orange and brown fence in the background; the other side has a hunter and dog in foliage.
