Minton Slops Pail SP15

Original, quality, late 19th century, large white ceramic slops pail, missing its lid and with some minor damage, but a great looker otherwise. This example has a bellied body, two side handles and a band of pink roses, green leaves and gilt lining. One chip to the top rim, one small star crack to the side and some hairline cracks to the underside. The underside is impressed for "Minton" the manufacturer and also transfer printed for the same. A great looker, ideal as a jardiniere or a waste paper basket, but I do not advise filling it with liquid.
