Description: | Small jug, 'Tea Cabarét' as a whole is quirky in design and has references to 17th century Staffordshire ware. Consistent in a range of colours - a creamy background glaze at the edge of which the terracotta shows through, and on top of which dark and pastel blues and a stronger brick orange predominate. The decoration itself comprises an equally identifiable repertoire of spots, stripes, stars and spiral shapes, which are slip trailed, sponged, or applied with a paer or latex 'resist'. Another distinctive visual trademark of the tableware is the juxtaposition of shinily tin glazed decorated surfaces with contrasting deep reddish unglazed rims at the base of the items and unglazed undersides of the plates and bowls. Stain sponged onto glaze before final firing.
