£4850
Dated: 1685 English London
A good English pottery Delftware dish boldly decorated with turquoise-green leaves with manganese stems and veins, and interspersed with a profusion of blue and yellow berries. The reverse is lead-glazed in the period's usual manner. The pattern is traditionally known as the oak leaf; however, the leaves resemble vine leaves, and the berries may represent black and white grapes.
