DescriptionSoft-paste porcelain, octagonal soup plate. The center is painted with underglaze cobalt blue to resemble Chinese export porcelain. The decoration on the rim alternates between a trellis pattern and a stylized floral motif. On the underside of the rim there are four cobalt blue designs spaced evenly.Label TextThis is a Bow pattern, but was also used by the Isleworth factory. Long lines of crazing in the glaze and the base indicate a likely Isleworth attribution.Inscription(s)NoMark(s)NoProvenanceEx. Coll: W.L. Little, Esq.
