A Caughley punch bowl transfer-printed with the Punch Bowl Sprays pattern and the monogrammed initials 'E.H REA', unmarked, 26cm diameter (light glaze craze to foot rim) Provenance: Wright Collection no.992, purchased in 2016 from D. Norley. Literature: Newsletter May 2016 no.66 p23. This is a very interesting piece with three of the Punch bowl sprays (4, 5 & 6) round the outside and several butterflies and insects, including a dragonfly. It also has the Iris pattern which is part of the third Punch bowl spray and not strictly speaking another pattern despite being including as such in the Caughley Blue and White Patterns on the basis of a bowl in Shrewsbury Museum. The border is the printed Peony one. Caughley did both painted and printed whilst Worcester did only a painted version. So the join gives it away. The style of lettering of the monogram matches of the examples illustrated page in The Caughley Society, Caughley Blue and White Patterns, p233-236.
