Mary White notes that this capacious tankard could hold two pints. Indeed, it may have also been used as a jug. A smaller mug dated 1677 is decorated in a similar manner, see Michael Archer, Delftware in the Fitzwilliam Museum, 2013, pp. 168-169, C.18. The 'Ming Transitional' style of decoration was popular on London and Brislington delftware of the late 17th century, especially on posset pots of the period. English potters may have been copying this style via its interpretation on Japanese porcelain, see Archer, op. cit., p. 166.
