Plate

This earthenware plate, sponge-printed and hand-painted in a variety of colours, was made by the Glasgow potters, J. & M.P.Bell & Company. It dates from around 1875.

The stylized flowers and rosettes have been transfer-printed in red, bluish-green and yellow and stencilled in blue and purple.

Like many other potteries in the second half of the 19th century, Bell's most popular ware was transfer-printed earthenware, which was durable, decorative and affordable by the masses. Some designs were extremely well produced.
