A Creamware Tureen in the Form of a Nesting Duck
About the Item
The nest is built on a leaf (which can be seen clearly in image #9).
The leaf is a typical form of 18th century English Creamware, but the duck on its nest is quite rare. The nest is formed of small irregular pieces of creamware which were attached to the underlying body when the clay was still soft.The duck forms the top of the tureen. The feathers on the duck's back are molded and the feathers on its crown are also made of small pieces of pottery attached to the larger piece.
