Cf. Donald Towner, Creamware, London, 1978, fig. 11B for another early Wedgwood teapot alos printed with The Mason's Arms. Although the technique of transfer printing on enamels, tiles and other bodies had been in use for several years, it was Josiah Wedgwood in conjunction with John Sadler of Liverpool who is thought to have perfected the technique for its use on creamware. Cf. also Robin Reilly, Wedgwood, vol. I, fig. 33 for an unmarked pinchpot similarly printed and with similar scattered flowers on the cover.
