Unusual English Creamer

This is a really unusual creamer made in England in the late 18th century which I couldn't quite pin point. Thanks to a helpful fellow collector I now know this: The creamer was made by either John and Jane Pennington or Jane Pennington depending on whether it was produced before or after the death of John Pennington on 19th October 1786. Jane Pennington continued to run the factory, which was on Folly Lane in Liverpool, until the end of 1794. In 1795 she sold the factory to Thomas Wolfe and it was then operated by the partnership of (Thomas) Wolfe (Miles) Mason and (John) Luckock until 1800 and made hybrid- hard paste porcelain. Jane Pennington died on 18th March 1797. The pattern on the creamer is a version of New Hall's Pattern Number 3. The body is bone-ash soft paste. It is handpainted with two large floral arrangements on the outside as well as lots of smaller scattered flowers. The inside rim has a nice decoration all around and the handle has a bit of red on it. The outside rim has a line design to it. Nice overall shape to it as well especially the handle! The creamer is in great condition with an old hairline crack on the bottom of the handle The piece is unmarked which is very common on English porcelain. It is 3.875 inches tall (including the handle), 4 inches long and 2.5 inches wide. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
