A Bow milk jug and cover and a chamber candlestick, circa 1760-70 The jug with 'pineapple' moulding, the cover with a scrolling loop finial, painted in blue with cell and dagger borders, 14.6cm high, the chamberstick of leaf-form with a serrated rim, the stalk forming the handle and the nozzle shaped as a tulip flower, painted with floral sprays below a feuille-de-choux or feathered border, 15.5cm long (3) Footnotes: Provenance Revd R C Wheeler Collection, no.12 (chamberstick) With Roderick Jellicoe (jug) Anton Gabszewicz Collection A closely related 'pineapple' moulded tea canister and cover was sold by Bonhams on 23 June 2021, lot 124. A cup and saucer with this moulding painted with sea-green borders and marked with an anchor and dagger mark would suggest that these moulded wares continued to be produced into the early 1770s or, perhaps more likely, some leftover undecorated stock was heightened with enamel colours under the proprietorship of William Brown during the final, brief period of the Bow manufactory. See Anton Gabszewicz, 'Later Bow Porcelain: a suggested chronology', ECC Trans, Vol.27 (2016), p.63, fig.37. A similar chamberstick from the Freeman Collection is illustrated and discussed by Anton Gabszewicz and Jacqui Pearce, 'Bow porcelain revealed: finds from excavations in High Street, Stratford, 2006, Part II', ECC Trans, Vol.32 (2021-22), p.33, fig.58.
