Pot-lid
Pot-lid, earthenware, circular shape with convex top, the underside of the lid and the flange obscured by the frame; the upperside of the lid decorated with an underglaze polychrome transfer-print of 'The Red Bull Inn' (although this title is not recorded on the lid), showing a rustic scene with cattle in the foreground and in the background an inn with a red bull painted on the sign, the scene enclosed by an elaborate entwined ribbon border. The glaze crazed. The pot-lid mounted for display in a close-fitting circular wooden frame painted black, a circular piece of brown paper is stuck across the bottom of the frame.
