EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Posset pot, a stunning piece of Staffordshire lead-glazed earthenware dating back to 1690-1700. The pot, measuring 31x23x23.1 cm, is housed in the prestigious Manchester Art Gallery in the UK. The cylindrical shape of the posset pot gently curves into a flat foot and features two elegant loop handles on either side. Adorned with rectangular panels containing stylized roses and tulips outlined in dark red studded with white spots, this masterpiece exudes timeless beauty. An inscription encircles the rim within borders of dark red bands studded with white, reading "THE. BEST. IS. NOT. TOO. GOOD. FOR. YOV / E. F'". The slightly ribbed handles are decorated with horizontal dark red stripes, adding an extra touch of sophistication. The honey-colored lead glaze creates a warm yellow ground color while dark and light brown slips enhance its overall charm. This exquisite pottery piece bears reference to Thomas Toft on its base. With its intricate design and impeccable craftsmanship, this posset pot represents not only the skillful artistry of English School from the 17th century but also serves as an aspirational symbol for those who appreciate fine ceramics. Its floral motifs featuring wild roses and tulips evoke feelings of elegance and grace. Captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, this photograph invites viewers to admire the rich history and artistic brilliance encapsulated within this remarkable Staffordshire treasure.
