This demilune flower pot or bough pot for forcing springtime bulbs, is adorned with three landscape panels. Each panel, painted in pink lustre, depicts the same cottage in a pastoral setting from three different vantage points. Moulded into the top and bottom rims are acanthus leaves. Pieces in this shape, color and style have been attributed to the Hackwood company, and usually pieces like these, are not marked. William Hackwood & Son was an earthenware factory in Shelton, England, from 1818 until 1853. In addition to lustre ware, such as this pot, they made black basalt ware, cane ware and a variety of blue-printed dishes of excellent quality. This bough pot is complete with its three bulb holder lid. Should one wish, the lid can be turned over so the circular bulb holders don’t show above the surface of the pot. The pot is nine inches wide and slightly over seven inches high, with a depth of five and a half inches at its center point. The pot rests raised on spherical feet. The rustic panel decorations are in excellent condition and show no sign of wear. There is some wear to the lustre on the top edge and a small a small hairline crack on the upper half of the back of the pot. The glaze on the back of the pot, as is usual, has crackled. It is extremely rare to find a Staffordshire bough pot, from the early part of the 19th century, completely intact with its lid in such good condition.
