A Lund's Bristol blue and white pickle dish c.1750, modelled as a small scallop shell and painted with a Long Eliza figure standing between low trees, the rim with three hatched diaper panels, a clean crack, 7.6cm.

Cf. Ray Jones The Origins of Worcester Porcelain, p.379 for a similar dish; analysis of which has shown the inclusion of soaprock in the body, indicating an attribution to Lund's rather than Broad Street, Worcester.
