A Caughley egg drainer circa 1785 of circular form, the pierced bowl with a shell form handle, transfer-printed in underglaze blue with the Pleasure Boat pattern, unmarked, bowl 8cm diameter Provenance: Ex. Wychwood Collection. Notes: Contemporary porcelain factory documents call objects like these 'egg drainers' when they have a small side handle. They were often included in breakfast sets and one suggestion is that they were possibly used to serve poached eggs. An article by Richard Halliday, 'Pickle Dishes and Milseys', written for the Northern Ceramic Society investigated further the use for these 'drainers'. The word 'milsey' comes from two middle English words 'mylke syhe' which today mean 'milk sieve', which today has been applied to pottery and porcelain strainers which may or may not have been used to sieve hot milk. Halliday found that these drainers proved to be neither practical or functional in the use of draining eggs, nor were they appropriate for draining tea. One conclusion drawn is that they were perhaps used to strain boiled milk which was necessary to prevent it tasting somewhat sour in the pre-refrigeration days. Indeed, Nelson's breakfast set supplied by Chamberlain's, Worcester in 1802 contained 'six egg cups and drainers.'

This style of border was the most expensive produced by the factory at that time, with the entire order for 132 pieces costing £217 10s and 6d.

A Caughley tart or patty pan circa 1780 of circular form with slightly reinforced everted rim, painted in underglaze blue with the Rock Strata Island (Island Sampan) pattern with an associated border to the interior edge, unmarked, 9.1cm diameter Provenance: Ex. Wychwood Collection. Notes: Food historians suggest that tarts were introduced first in Medieval Times. Unlike pies, these dishes were presented without a top crust which gave the opportunity to create a variety of colourful dishes which could be found either savoury or sweet. 18th century sources demonstrate the large amount of recipes catered towards this popular dish, which could contain anything from meat and vegetables to fruit or cheese. Hannah Glasse addresses the use of these pans directly, saying, 'If you bake in tin Patties, butter them, and you must put a little crust all over, because of the taking them out. If in china, or glass, no crust but the top one. Lay fine sugar at the bottom, then your plumbs, cherries, or any other sort of fruit, and sugar at top; then put on your lid, and bake them in a slack oven.' -- The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy, Hannah Glasse, facsimile 1747 reprint [Prospect Books:Devon] 1995 (p. 75)
