A very rare large Caughley tureen and cover printed in the Gillyflower 5 pattern, circa 1780-85, C mark, 37cm diameter (cover cracked, though some from manufacture) Provenance: Wright Collection no.867, purchased in 2010 from Halls, known affectionately by Maurice and Janet as the 'monstrosity'. This is a very heavy piece and any attempts to lift up the lid by the handle would have undoubtedly led to breakages, making this a rare piece. Literature: Newsletter February 2013 No.45 p.9
