An earthenware leg bath printed in blue with the Lange Lijzen pattern, also known as Long Eliza.  This attractive middle-period production pattern comes from a Chinese Export design, possibly by way of Dutch delftware, as the name might suggest.  The Chinese pattern from which this pattern was inspired dates from the K'an Hsi period, 1700-1722.   According to Robert Copeland, it is one of the most interesting examples of medical ceramics made by Spode;  reference Spode's Wilow Pattern and Other Designs after the Chinese, p. 143.
