Description:
English delft circular plate in blue, purple, yellow and orange-red on a grey-blue glaze. The well is decorated with a chinoiserie landscape scene of a small house with a projection from each roof end; a tall poplar and pine, and smaller 'telegraph pole' trees; rocks and a small clump of foliage in the foreground; and two flocks of flying birds. The curvature is encircled with a trellis pattern with blue circles and orange-red crosses; the outer rim is surrounded by a series of orange-red dots in blue squares, and a single blue band on the outer rim and two bands on the inner rim. Fragments with the same border pattern were found by Garner in Lambeth and in excavations at Colonial Williamsburg; and the Victoria and Albert Museum has a similar plate dated 1760.
