1690 Butter Dish (or Opium Pillow)
£320.00
Covered form in terracotta, decorated with joggled or marbled slip, a technique widely used in England’s Staffordshire potteries in the early to mid-18th century. Depending on your preferred vice, this puss doubles up well as a neck rest/keep safe for a drug-induced trance, or as a butter dish - which when you think about it, is no less addictive substance abuse, when liberally smothered on hot, toasted sour dough.
Quantity:
