There are many parallels to wares produced in the 1780s by the Pennington family, but alternative manufacturers are possible, for example Maurice Hills’ Haymarket Pot House, or Zachariah Barnes and James Cotter. The HP nomination derives from a small number of marked examples.

60, of hexagonal panelled baluster shape, the short neck painted with lozenge trellis, the shoulder panels centred by lotus blossoms alternately against cellular backgrounds, and with conforming panels to the base, the cover with compressed ovoid finial, 30cm high overall

A vase of similar shape and pattern (though with chinoiserie landscapes alternating on the shoulder and basal panels) was exhibited by Simon Spero

Eight Days in June, Ceramics in

Kensington, 9th-17th June 2003, illustration on page 24 (top). This vase was part of an unrecorded garniture of Chaffers Liverpool vases of circa 1755-60. In his introduction to the catalogue, Spero mentions

Foremost among these is a remarkable and hitherto unrecorded garniture of three Chaffers Liverpool vases of tapering hexagonal shape. It is always an exciting moment to set eyes upon something which you had imagined to exist and these extraordinary vases serve as a stimulating reminder that there is always something new under the sun.
