(p1298)

An excellent Caughley small sized plate, beautifully decorated with the transfer printed blue and white 'Fence' pattern, c1785. This beautiful plate is marked on the base with the Caughley 'C' painted in blue. This mark was used at the famous Caughley factory between c1775-90.

The main transfer printed pattern in the centre of the plate is known as the 'Fence' pattern because of the zigzag fence in the lower right hand portion of the print. The fence is of oriental style and around it are stylised rocks and flowers. A smaller secondary print to the left depicts an Island upon which is a small house and trees, above which fly two birds in the sky.

There is a blue and white 'pheasant eye' border decoration round the very rim of the plate and a blue line runs round the inside edge of the rim.

The plate has quite a deep centre and is a relatively heavy body material. The base is very clearly marked with the blue Caughley 'C' mark, c1785.

This is an excellent Caughley Plate decorated with the 'Fence' print, c1785
