Pottery: Unknown
Earthenware, with slip-trailed decoration covered with yellowish lead glaze. Inscription: W/T&G/1793
Red earthenware, slip-trailed in white, and covered with yellowish lead-glaze, except for the area within the footrim. Circular, with a narrow sloping slightly concave rim, and shallow curved well. The unglazed base is recessed, and the chipped condition of the edge suggests that the dish may originally have been supported on a foot or footring. In the well there is a slip-trailed rectangular panel edged by a chain and divided into two by three wavy lines. In the upper part are the initials W/T & G and in the lower part, the date, 1793. The rim is decorated with a band of narrow leaf-shaped motifs.

The intials are probably those of a man and wife, W representing their surname. The provenance of this dish and its physical resemblance to two other items bought at the same time by the dealer, George Stonor, (Rackham, 1935, nos. 410 and 411) suggest that it was made in Lancashire.
