DescriptionMiniature coffee pot & cover is printed with Fisherman pattern in underglaze blue with pagodas on spout & elaborate border design around rim of pot. NOTE: Although cover seems to be the correct size, it should have the same border decoration around the rim & the same pagodas on the dome as there are to be found on the pot. They do not really match. For pattern & shape of pot see plate 91, p.96 of Geoffrey Godden's British Porcelain, An Illustrated Guide.
Pattern: Fisherman pattern
