Context (Analysis)
Although the donor is listed as J.G. Hurst in the Accession Register for Z 16320, this may be a mistake based on Hurst borrowing and then returning the pot, only after which was the Z number assigned to the object. Therefore the Source field has been left blank and the details about the provenance of this pot remain unknown.
