A rare Pinxton cache pot, painted on the flared cylindrical bowl with a band of oval canary yello

A rare Pinxton cache pot, painted on the flared cylindrical bowl with a band of oval canary yellow medallions of single roses, alternating with larger landscape panels painted in brown monochrome divided by blue dashes, with gilt festoons below, the rims and fixed ring handles gilt, 9cm h, impressed letter, c1800. The pair to the offered lot, with its low cavetto stand, appears to have been sold Phillips, London, 12 September 1995, lot 327. See Sheppard (C B), Pinxton Porcelain 1795-1813, fig 200 (right). It is interesting to observe that precisely the same gilding of the festoons beneath the panels appears on two other Pinxton ornamental shapes, also incorporating the canary yellow ground and presumably gilded by the same hand - the pair of goblets in the collections of Manchester City Museum and Art Gallery and the jug with still life panels in the Dennis Collection. See Gent (N D), The Patterns and Shapes of the Pinxton China Factory 1796-1813, figs 15, 16, 34 & 271. . In an unusually fine state of preservation with no damage or restoration and virtually no wear to the enamels or gilding
