A lidded bowl with a short pedestal and circular foot. The lid has an ‘acorn’  finial of hexagonal section, and the lid interior bears a clear registration date lozenge for 6 June 1876 – Parcel 2. 5..5 inches tall (including lid), with a bowl top rim diameter of 5.5 inches.

This parcel was registered by Whittingham and Percival, a minor manufacturer based in Pendleton, Salford, and corresponded to a registration bundle including RD numbers 301058 to 301067, of which five were for salts (301063 to 301067).  See

According to NeilH, the lid here would appear to match 301059 in shape but it does not bear the pattern as seen on the registration. So maybe it is a blank of the shape minus the pattern, or perhaps there was a patterned version also?

Does anyone have a photo of this particular design, but with a patterned surface, or indeed photos of any other pieces (presumably corresponding to RDs 301058 to 301062) from this 6 June 1876 registration bundle to share?
