Incised lidded cream pot with stylised floral decoration (identical decoration is also seen on a chamber pot). 
The decoration appears to have been moulded into the piece, not hand-incised (a second identical piece is known). Unusually, the piece is marked with the impressed “diamond” mark, used on higher-quality pieces.

Height: 65mm / 2.5in
