object type: Pale red earthenware, press-moulded over a hump mould to produce a design in relief on the interior, coated in cream slip, and slip-trailed in brown and dark brown under yellowish lead-glaze; the reverse is undecorated. The dish is circular with deep curved sides and a crinkled edge produced by making adjacent impressions with an oval implement. St George rides a horse towards the viewer's right, and spears the scaly dragon which lies on the ground below the horse. Behind St George is an inn sign inscribed in relief St/George/Dragon, with above, a coat-of-arms flanked by scrolls. The initials IB (JB) are moulded in relief below the horse, on either side of St George's leg.
