Description
The pottery pearlware glazed pitcher has hand-painted color enamel decoration and was made as a commemorative piece with the notation ‘ Wm Botty’ Bolton Miller but not over honest. Bolton is a town located in the North West of England.
The term ” but not over honest” is probably a comical statement aimed at William and is one of the most unusual terms I have seen on a documentary piece. The reverse of the jug features a well-painted bouquet of flowers and a butterfly.
