FINE CAUGHLEY BLUE AND WHITE PORCELAIN FISHERMAN AND CORMORANT PATTERN PICKLE LEAF DISH C.1780-95
"An attractive Caughley porcelain blue and white pickle leaf dish in excellent condition with a particularly fine, crisp, underglaze blue transfer print of the popular Fisherman and Cormorant pattern. Contemporary accounts refer to these dishes as "Vine leaves for Pickles" and the pattern as "Pleasure Boat". A great addition to your fine 18th century blue and white early English porcelain collection." Antiques Expert Hamilton Bear.
 
References: The print is the Caughley example of the Fisherman pattern. See Caughley & Worcester Porcelains 1775-1800 G. Godden, plate 138 for a similar example of this fine Caughley porcelain shape with unglazed biscuit factory wasters.
Dimensions: length 91 mm max. width 92 mm max.
Marks: none.
Condition: The piece is close to perfect with just one tiny pinhead flat edge chip seen on the back at the point of  9.00 o'clock. You are unlikely to find an example in better condition.
