Description:
English brown earthenware plate covered overall with a yellow transfer print with a chinoiserie design with pagoda, trees and running fences in the well and stylized border around the rim and curvature. In the past this type of yellow transfer-printed brown ware is sometimes referred to as "Portobello ware" and was associated with the Portobello Factory of Scotland - In fact, this ware was not made at the Portobello factory nor made in Scotland at all-- It is now thought to have produced by potters in Staffordshire and the Scott Brothers of Southwick Pottery in Sunderland. This style of decoration has been found on Dutch delft wares from around 1700, with dark brown grounds called "chocolate" and golden yellow chinoiserie decoration. This plate is illustrated in the Transferware Collectors Club database under the title "Pagoda and Palms variation" and is based on a Chinese original.
