A Caughley ice pail, cover and inner liner, circa 1786-93, painted with the Dresden Flower pattern in underglaze blue with additional gilt overglaze detail, S mark, 26cm high (has been broken into 17 pieces and re-glued)Provenance: Purchased in 2007 from eBay. See Geoffrey Godden, Caughley & Worcester Porcelains 1775-1800 (1969), pl. 114 where the author speculates that the gilding was probably added by Chamberlain's of Worcester and p. 61 for the list of shapes.The first record of ice cream in this country is 1671 on the menu of a feast for the Knights of the Garter held in St. George's Hall at Windsor Castle. At this time it was considered such an exclusive dish that it appeared only on the king's table. The earliest printed recipe appeared in Mrs Eale's Receipts, a work on confectionary which was published in London, 1718. It was not until the second half of the 18th century that ices became more readily available from confectioner's shops, and these pails were commonly found on upper class homes' sideboards to be used for a dessert of ice cream with cut fruit. If ice alone is used to fill the cover and the bucket, the ice cream melts very quickly. Although there is nothing recorded in literature, it is almost certain that a little salt was sprinkled on the ice. Porcelain is the ideal material for ice cream pails as it is impervious to salt which improves the refrigerant effect. Experiments has shown that ice cream will remain in a frozen state for up to four hours in these ice pails if salt is added to both containers.After a time, a small amount of ice eventually forms on the exterior of the pail - usually causing condensation, and possible adhesion to the table cloth. It is therefore likely that these early pails would have been placed on a plate or stand. Later designs of these pails often had feet to prevent them freezing to the table, and these objects were rarely made beyond the year 1830.

Lot 36

A Caughley potted meat pot transfer-printed in the Pleasure Boat or Fisherman pattern, circa 1780-90, S mark, 11.9cm wideProvenance: Wright Collection no.869, purchased from J. Pinnick.The preservation of food such as meat or cheese by 'potting' was an important process. It involved sealing food in butter other fat to eliminate its exposure to air which would cause it to go bad, and this process would mean that this food could be kept for weeks or months at a time dependent on the storage conditions. By the 1600s, pots were beginning to replace the heavy crusts which were initially used as a method in this process of preserving meat. These crusts would be used in place of a container to protect the food from the outside environment and were not necessarily always consumed.In order to complete the potting process the meat would be cut into pieces, baked with fresh butter or some form of other fat and seasoned. After pounding with a mortar and pestle the meat would then be stored into pots such as these when they were then heated, cooled and sealed with a final layer of butter. An exception to this rule would sometimes be small birds which could be found potted whole.18th century receipts show that potting was used for a large variety of meats such as ox-tongue, eels, hare and rabbit. A cookery book by Hannah Glasse (1777 and 1787, therefore contemporary to this meat pot) showed that some cooks often kept meat beyond its prime in a refusal to waste it. In which case the meat would be removed from the pot, boiled and re-buttered in order to re-preserve it.Potted meals were prized by places such as Inns, as they provided an easy and reliable source of food for their patrons and ships would maintain a similar store of potted goods in order to facilitate long journeys. Prime cuts of meat were often used and these meat pots were an important feature of many a dinner table in the 18th century.

A Caughley custard cup and cover transfer-printed with the rare Garden Table pattern, circa 1778-92, S mark, 7.8cm highProvenance: Wright Collection no. 546 purchased from N. Gent in 1997.Literature: See Ironbridge 1999 no.304 and Newsletter June 2008 No.34 p.7. This is a very rare pattern which was previously unrecorded, with only two further examples having arisen following the compilation of Maurice Wright's database. The Caughley Society newsletter article titled 'Gardens, Tables and Vases' distinguishes between the Garden Floral pattern which is 'painted and very rare' and The Garden Table pattern which is printed. Sandon suggests in his book that Caughley also made a painted copy of the Worcester equivalent, examples of which could possibly be collection numbers 649 and 679.

Lot 124

A Caughley porter mug transfer-printed with the Thorny Rose pattern, circa 1777-82, unmarked, 10.2cm high and 10.4cm diameter (faint star crack to base)Provenance: Wright Collection no.457 purchased in 1998 from Cambridge. Though unmarked and sold as 'Worcester' by the dealer, this is undoubtedly a Caughley example. The pattern is exactly the same as collection no. 339 (lot 121) which is marked, though this porter mug is a rarer shape.Portering was hard work and porters needed a considerable amount of carbohydrate as fuel - much of which they got from drinking. One estimate is that 18th century manual workers were getting 2,000 calories a day from beer. Pubs were used as fuelling stops: it was "universal" in the 18th century, according to a writer in 1841, for public houses in London to have a bench outside for porters to sit at and a board (that is, table) alongside it "for depositing their loads" while they stopped for "deep draughts of stout … such as are idealised in Hogarth's Beer Street." That was "stout" as in stout porter, of course: the strong, dark brew London's brewers developed out of the brown beer they brewed at the beginning of the 18th century was just the sort of refreshing, energising brew the porters wanted, and its popularity with the portering class is why it was given their name.
