Pottery: Unidentified Staffordshire Pottery
Earthenware plate decorated with underglaze oxides
Cream earthenware, press-moulded, and decorated with greyish-blue, green, yellow, manganese-purple and grey oxide colours under lead-glaze. The plate is circular with alternately small and large arcs round the gadrooned edge. The border is slightly concave and it has sloping sides and a flat centre. The whole of the front is covered with splodges and streaks of the oxides which have run into each other to form a 'tortoiseshell' effect. The reverse is mottled with manganese oxide, and has a thickened glaze scar on one edge, possibly where it has adhered to another piece during firing.
