Description:
English delft plate with blue and iron-red quilled or thin lined decoration, where the iron-red is applied with a fine brush. The well has a large red urn with large flowers and hatched leaves, scrolling lines extending from the urn rim, and a flying insect on each side, all surrounded by iron-red coils between two blue lines. The rim is decorated with alternating iron-red panels of stylized flowers, and hatched lines and quatrafoils, banded by blue lines. Similarly-decorated shards were found in excavations at Lambeth High Street and Vauxhall Cross in 1969-1970; and a similar plate and two punch bowls are shown in Lipski and Archer, "Dated English Delftware", with dates of 1733 and 1738.
