Pot-lid
Pot-lid, earthenware, circular shape with cylindrical flange and convex top, the flange and underside of the lid partially obscured by the frame; the upperside of the lid decorated with an underglaze polychrome transfer-print with additional overglaze colours added by hand of 'The Net Mender' (although this title is not recorded on the lid), showing a coastal landscape with sailing boats pulled up on the shore and figures standing around mending nets and talking, any border which may enclose the print is obscured by the frame. The lid broken and repaired, the glaze crazed. The pot-lid mounted for display in a close-fitting circular wooden frame painted black.
