FINE STAFFORDSHIRE OR YORKSHIRE CREAMWARE ARCADED DISH IN BASKET WEAVE PATTERN C.1780-1800
Staffordshire or Leeds Creamware basket weave pattern dish c.1785-1815
"A lovely rare Staffordshire or Yorkshire English creamware arcaded dessert dish beautifully moulded and hand painted with subtle line decoration in chocolate brown. This basket weave pattern was made by both Wedgwood and Neale in Staffordshire and at the Leeds Pottery. Unfortunately many surviviving pieces are unmarked. This early example dates from c.1780-1800 and was probably used as a stand for a fruit basket. It is a rare item in our experience - one for both the series collector of English pottery and the decorative china cabinet display... Enjoy!" Antiques Expert Hamilton Bear.
 
References: Good marked examples of this pattern can be found in the major reference works on English Pottery. See section Creamware and other English Pottery at Temple Newsam House  Leeds, Peter Walton pg 133.

Condition: In excellent overall condition and wonderful for display. No restoration or significant defects. Minor traces of age wear and rubbing to glazed edges of dish. These are as typically found on an antique creamware pottery piece of this type. A very good example.
