Pottery: Unidentified Liverpool pottery (Probably)
Tin-glazed earthenware leaf-shaped dish painted in blue with landscapes
Buff earthenware, press-moulded, tin-glazed pale bluish-white and painted in blue. Both dishes are moulded in the shape of a leaf with wavy edges and a short stalk, standing on a shaped footring. The interiors are painted with a lakeside scene in which there is a man in a boat in the foreground, an area with tufts of grass or reeds, three houses flanked by bushes and a single house with a fence to the right of it. Behind each house there is a slender tree resembling a telegraph pole, and overhead are three groups of schematic birds. The edge has a border of slanting lines broken by six groups of four spirals.
