21. Coffee-pot, workshop not known, about 1765, Wrocław, Muzeum Śląskie
The remaining five objects (Fig. 22): tea-pot (heiglit 10 cm, invent. No. 1776), sugar-basin
(height 10,5 cm, invent. No. 1780) and three jugs (heiglits : 18 cm, 13,5 cm, and 25,5 cm, invent.
Nos. 1677—1679) do not bear traces of glazed decoration. Neither are they decorated with relief
beyond rubbed modelling of legs with masks and paws and slightly wrinkled rosettes in form of
the grips of lids.
Ali these yessels indicate certain relationships despite differences in decoration, modelling22
and thickness of glaze. Ali of them take on a brown colouring in bright sunlight, and underneath
the glaze there are visible traces of the tool which gave them shape. The glaze possesses, it seems,
a similar composition: its mass is powdered with tiny grains of some redish-brownish-golden
colour. Ali these vessels are similar in shape to the products of the workshop of Whieldon.
Assuredly all this does not provide sufficient grounds for connecting the pieces discussed with
one workshop. It seems, however, that the simOarities mentioned above should permit us to
recognize that the vessels come from the same district and that they possess a closely allied
22. Diffcrcnt shapes of the bottom .
