White earthenware transfer-printed in puce with a mother and child, and banded on the edge with blue enamel
White earthenware with very slightly blue tinted lead-glaze, bat-printed in puce and banded in blue enamel. Circular with a narrow flat rim, and shallow curved well. Three spur marks on the back. Decorated in the well with a vignette of a mother seated facing to the viewer’s left in a chair with sabre legs, speaking to a small curly-headed child who stands on a low rectangular stool beside her. The mother wears a high-waisted, low necked, short-sleeved Empire-style dress. She holds up her right hand, pointing towards the child, and has her left arm hanging down beside the chair. In her left hand she holds a rolled up paper or handkerchief. There are blue bands round the inner and outer edges of the rim.
