9. Cream-jug, workshop of Thomas Astbury, Lane Delph,
1765 —1770, Warsaw, Muzeum Narodowe
The last of the marked pieces—the tea-pot (Fig. 15), as well as the unmarked cream-jug
(fig. 17) can be attempted to be connected with Wedgwood's manufacture. The first in view of
the mark in which the letter „W" can be deciphered, the second on account of the characteristic,
in the opinion of R. M. Price, base of classical profile.14 Both possess similar engine-turned deco-
ration.
The last two pieces — the tea-pot and the saucer (Fig. 18, 19)—do not give sufficient indica-
tions for identification of workshops. This, naturally, does not exclude the possibility of their
origination from these workshops which I have suggestcd for the foregoing pieces. This is parti-
cularly the case with the tea-pot which possesses many features typical of the workshop of Thomas
Astbury.
In spite of insufficient evidence15 the entire collection of 11 pieces of unglazed redware can be
regarded as the property of Elżbieta Izabela Lubomirska (1736 —1816,) purchased in the XVIII
century. This is supported by the fact that eight of them are found in the collections connected
with inheritors of Lubomirska:10 five are at Wilanów,1' one at Łańcut, two (now the property
of the National Muscum in Warsaw) were purchased from collections from Przeworsk. What is
more, it can be assumed that the two coffee-pots and the tea-cup with saucer belong to the same
14. R.M. Price, o.c, Fig. 4.
15. Of archival materials conccrning the collections mcntioned below the only ones known to me are the inventorics at Wilanów.
16. The following palaces belongcd to the daughters of I. Luhomirska: Wilanów (in the possesion of Aleksandra), Łańcut (owned
by Julia), Porlhorce (the property of Konstancja). Przeworsk hclonged to the fosterson of Lubomirska, Henryk. The vessels
discussed in the communiąuć were dispersed in 1799 at latest during partition of property or earlier tbrough endowmeants.
17. The Museum in the Pałace at Wilanów now forms part of the National Museum in Warsaw.
