Also from Staffordshire?

Coffee pot

This transferware coffee pot includes Chinese-inspired scenery, as you can see more clearly in the close-up provided below. The manufacturer is unknown and we can only say that it is probably a Staffordshire piece. The Transferware Collectors Club calls this pattern "Homecoming" but like the identity of the maker, the original name (if there was one) is unknown.

The Maxwell Museum thanks Rebecca Walls of the Victoria and Albert Museum and Jacqueline Smith of Royal Derby for their assistance in researching this coffee pot.
