Soup plate

This green and red transfer-printed earthenware soup plate was exported to South East Asia by the Glasgow potters, J. and M.P. Bell and Company. It dates from between 1842 and 1880.

The pattern is called 'TRENTHAM'. The plate's centre shows a vase surrounded by roses, hydrangea and other foliage. The border pattern consists of stylized flower heads and scrolls.

Bells exported significant amounts of pottery to South East Asia. 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.
