This vase was made at the Brannam Pottery and features their earliest colours and "fish-scale" decoration between scenes from John Bunyan's "Pilgrims Progress". It is one of possibly four pots inscribed on the base for "John Cock Woodville South Molton 1887". John Cock was a prominent local figure, who designed houses in South Molton and wrote a history of the Town, in 1893.
The pot was obtained in 1998 with the help of grant aid from the Museums and Galleries Commisssion; the Victoria and Albert Museum Purchase Fund; South Molton Town Council and the National Arts Collections Fund
