A rare pattern to find on a kidney or heart shaped dessert dish. In nice condition for a dish of this period. No pattern number and not a pattern which has been recorded.

A simple pattern built up of geometrical flower shapes in onglaze blue and pink, forming a chain around the edge of the dish.  

After 1782 most wares did have pattern numbers, and for a period these were floating numbers.  Later into the 1780's this number settled to just below the Derby mark.  

As this dish does not have a pattern number, its possibly earlier and could even be a Chelsea Derby dish, predating 1782.  

Finished with a dentil gilded rim.  

A nice size dish and in good condition.
