Plant pot
Plant pot, greyish hybrid-paste porcelain, of flared conical form with a moulded lip and applied ring handles; a hole in the base; fitting on to a turned stand with a spreading foot; painted with a continous frieze of classical figures in a landscape, compising Silenus on his donkey with fauns and satyrs, two youths, a maiden and a satyr with musical instruments bringing goats to a flaming alter tended by a kneeling man wreathed with vines, four maidens approaching Mercury standing beneath puce drapery, a mother child and attendant at his feet, all set within deep borders reserved with wave scrolls and foliage sprays in gilding. The stand similarly gilded. Typical Coalport pin-pricks to the body.
