A STAFFORDSHIRE SLIPWARE TWO-HANDLED BRAGGET-POT

Bragget pots were used for a drink made from ale and fermented honey, or ale that was sweetened and spiced. The phrase, 'The best is not too good for you' was often used in combination with bold foliate decoration to decorate bragget and posset-pots in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
