Description:
One of two English creamware cups with covers with a molded flower finial over engine-turned radiating ribs. The cylindrical cup has a plain band over engine-turned vertical ribbing; and an attached double entwined rope handles with flower and leaf terminals. This pot has a small dot of green enamel on the cover. According to Roger Massey, a number of embellishments to plain creamware emerged in the 1760s and 1770s such as the use of engine turnings in the 1760s with the introduction of the engine-turning lathe (Josiah Wedgwood claimed to have introduced the engine-turning process to the pottery industry in 1763) and pierced decoration in the 1770s.
