The dish was attributed to Longton Hall when acquired by Dr Glaisher. It was reattributed to West Pans on the basis of dish fragments with moulded leaves on the rims found on the factory site. The West Pans porcelain factory was founded in 1764 by William Littler who had previously directed the Longton Hall factory which closed in 1760.
Decoration composed of cobalt-blue ( the term 'Littler's blue' in the earlier descriptio has been changed to dark underglaze blue because Littler's blue' is usually applied to white salt-glaze stoneware and was produced by a different technique)
