This leaf-shaped porcelain dish was made at William Littler's pottery in West Pans in East Lothian. It dates from around 1770.

The dish is decorated with coloured flowers and butterflies.

Littler arrived in Scotland in the early 1760s after the failure of his Longton Hall factory in Staffordshire. The founder of Scotland's porcelain industry, Littler was keen to seek the custom of the landed gentry. Consequently his factory made high quality, if uneconomical, wares. It closed in 1777.
