Description:
English delft circular plate decorated in blue, orange, yellow, green, and powdered purple ground. The well is decorated with a garden scene of a green and red bird with a feathered crown sitting on a large red flower, surrounded by scrolling flowers and foliage in red, green, blue, and yellow. The rim and curvature are covered with a coarsely powdered, uneven purple ground which could have been applied by shaking dry pigment from a brush; the rim is has four groups of yellow sgraffito, stylized floral sprigs alternating with insects. The rim edge is painted yellow; the foot rim is pronounced. The London attribution is based on the fine incised/scratched decoration on the rim and similar rim fragments excavated by Frank Garner in Lambeth.
