It is a famous "Henry II" style pottery piece collected by the Victoria and Albert Museum. Produced by Charles Toft in Stoke on Trent in 1877, it is the largest pottery of this style produced by the Minton factory and a symbol of technological challenges and the revival of traditional craftsmanship in the 19th century. It was reassembled in 2005, and its component parts were obtained from multiple sources. Handmade from beige clay, the surface is decorated with complex patterns, including colorful embedded patterns and painted designs. The design inspiration comes from ceramics in the style of Saint Paul's or "Henry II" in 16th century France.
