Description:
English delft circular dish in blue, green, orange-red, and yellow. The well is decorated with a parrot perched on a flowering branch growing from a tree stump with a cluster of flowers and foliage growing from the opposite side, all surrounded by two narrow blue bands. The rim is decorated with three clusters of pine cones, flowers, and foliage, encircled by a blue band. This was probably a very popular pattern in its day given the number of plates that have survived. The London attribution is based on fragments with this design found by Frank Garner during his excavations at the Lambeth High Street Pottery site. The treatment of the leaves is similar to those on a plate dated 1773.
