According to Robin Reilly, although punch pots of this type and decorated with the same prints were made circa 1775, the technique of transfer printing onto creamware in gold did not exist in Staffordshire until 1810. This being the case, and given the quality of the gilding on the presnet example, a date of 1820 seems more likely.
