Soup plate
Add to album

This transfer-printed earthenware soup plate was made by John Thomson & Sons of Annfield Pottery in Glasgow's Gallowgate. It dates from the second half of the 19th century and was exported to South East Asia.

The pattern is called 'DEHLI' after the Indian city. The centre shows a group of figures with horses and an elephant on the near bank of a river. The border pattern consists of groups of flowers.

This plate is one in an extensive collection of Scottish plates found in the bazaars and markets of Java, Sumatra and Borneo, areas for which they were undoubtedly produced.
