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.

St George's legendary slaying of a dragon was a well-known story, and the George and Dragon was a popular name for inns and taverns. It therefore seems highly likely that dishes like this, which include a sign as part of the design, could have been made for one of them. A dish in the British Museum was probably made from the same mould, but is decorated in dark brown slip only, and has a dragon whose body had the same pattern all over it, except for the head, legs, wing, and tail.
