The sucrier lid has a beautiful oval and waisted shape. The lid is moulded with spiral lines that are known as a shanked moulded body. Each of the spiral lines has a double line to it, referred to as 'tram line' and is a feature of the Chamberlain's Worcester manufacture.

The lid is decorated with a wide band of under glaze cobalt blue edged with gilt lines and applied foliate sprigs. There is also foliate garlands radiating up over the lid.

The cover has a typical flat oval mushroom shaped finial, this having spiral mouldings to the top portion and embellished with gilded lines.

This is a lovely Chamberlain Worcester Sucrier cover, which hopefully will be the item required if you have a sucrier without a lid! c1795.
