Description
A rare delftware reticulated plate, c.1760, London or Liverpool, the well painted with a gillyflower spray within smaller scattered sprig, the rim pierced with abstract shapes, 24.3cm.
Reticulation of this type is rare on delftware and the mould may have originally been intended for porcelain. This, coupled with the Gillyflower design, would suggest a Liverpool attribution is more likely.
