Description
A pointed lid finial and angular handle give this small Bombay coffee pot a sharply defined silhouette.
John Maddock & Sons Ltd is identified by the crowned Royal Vitreous backstamp, which also names the Bombay pattern and England. The blue transfer decoration combines a waterside pavilion with drooping willow branches, framed by a floral border near the rim. Decoration continues across the removable lid, drawing the cover into the overall design rather than treating it as a plain addition. The pot stands on a flared foot, with the handle and spout extending on opposite sides. The inclusion of Ltd in the factory name supports manufacture from 1896 onward, but does not supply a single production year. This is Bombay pattern ware rather than a confirmed standard Blue Willow design. Related pieces appear in Tea and Coffee Table and Blues and Whites.
