Notes
This design incorporates motifs on an oriental theme – patterns 1598, 1751 and 1762 have a similar treatment.
Gray’s Pottery produced mounted biscuit barrels from 1915 through to 1921, a period when this table/sideboard accessory must have been very much in vogue. The mounts (the metalwork rim and handle) are usually EPNS (electro-plated nickel silver) and are held on to the pot with a plaster-of-Paris cement.
The shapes of both the pots and the mounts vary considerably, as seen by some examples in the group image of eight barrels (and which includes a 1934 cane-handled example).
