Globular on a spreading foot, decorated in blue beneath the spout with an 'Apollo Head' cartouche, the head flanked by peacocks, the label inscribed 'S: E: MORIS.', the date 1694 below placed either side of a panel painted with a cockerel, festoons of fruit and tassels hung from a grotesque mask beneath, 19cm high
|Provenance:Syd Levethan, Longridge Collection, Christie's sale 11 June 2010, lot 1116Literature:Illustrated by Leslie B. Grigsby, the Longridge Collection of English Slipware and Delftware (2000), fig.D406. This jar is not recorded by Lipski and Archer, Dated English Delftware (1984), although others from the same set are listed as figs.1659 and 1659A. For this unusual dated set the sign or badge of a cockerel replaces the usual angel head beneath the cartouche drug labels and this may relate to the name of the pharmacy. The jar probably contained a syrup extracted from mulberries.
