Soup plateThis red and green transfer-printed earthenware soup plate was made for export to South East Asia, by the Glasgow potters, J. & M.P. Bell & Co. Ltd. The pattern is called 'AMBOINA' and the plate dates from between 1881 and the 1920s. The centre shows a circle covered with a repeat pattern of circles, alternating with smaller circles and squares. The border pattern consists of a pattern of circles linked by 'C' shaped bands with stars and trefoils. During the second half of the 19th century Bells developed a range of designs specially geared to the Eastern market. One of the design innovations used by them was the two-coloured printed pattern, where the central motif and border were of different colours, as in this example.
