Description
Tin-glazed earthenware, each plate painted in blue with a pastoral scene depicting a standing figure and child by a stream, with a seated shepherd and distant church tower, all within a landscape of trees and rolling hills. The rim decorated with broad brushstrokes suggesting foliage, the reverse covered in a pale bluish-white glaze with fine pitting typical of Bristol wares.
