Description:
English delft circular, shallow bowl in blue, green, orange-red, and yellow. The well is decorated with a parrot on a branch growing from a tree stump, with a cluster of flowers and foliage growing from the opposite side, surrounded by two narrow bands. 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.

Subjects:
Pottery; glaze (coating by location)
