Bombay Japan pattern deep Dish, Minton or Samuel Alcock, English mid C19th

An earthenware deep dish of shaped oval form with moulded handles to the sides, transfer decorated in ‘flow blue’ with coloured highlights and gilt detail with a central stylised garden scene within a diaper pattern border, the rim with floral sprays and the two handles in the rococo style, the reverse plain and with a central blue transfer mark in the form of a vase with flowers and reading ‘BOMBAY’ ‘JAPAN’ with red script numbers ‘1273’. Various pieces can be found with this florid design, all with the same mark and script numbers. Attribution is either to the well known firm Minton or the factory of Samuel Alcock, whose Staffordshire pottery produced a highly popular range of pieces in the early to mid nineteenth century. Given the slightly rustic nature of this piece, the latter seems more likely. This is a serving dish from a much larger set which would have all been decorated in the same pattern. Oriental designs have been adapted to suit European taste with great aplomb and the result is both functional and attractive.
Size: 24 x 28 cm
Weight: 615 grams
Date: 1850
Condition: Good condition generally; the glaze with slight craquelure, probably original, and a small area of glaze loss to one section of the rim at the back (see image 5)
Estimate: £30 – 40
