Unidentified Staffordshire Pottery
(Pottery)
Earthenware dessert dish moulded with fruit, nuts, rococo scrolls and diaper, and decorated with coloured glazes
Dark cream earthenware, press-moulded with integral relief decoration, pierced, and decorated with green, yellow and manganese-brown coloured glazes. The green glaze does not cover the whole of the area inside the footring, but shows the dark cream body. The circular dish has a pierced basket-work border, curved sides, and flat central area. The front is decorated with a central medallion with a yellow rope edging and wickerwork ground enclosing three paired scrolls within a roughly triangular frame of scrolls all in green. On the sides there are three scroll-edged compartments, each enclosing four different fruits and nuts on twigs with leaves suspended from the basket-work border. The space beween the fruits and the central medallion is filled with panels of trellis diaper alternating with panels of striations.
