Add to album

This transfer-printed earthenware soup plate was made by the Glasgow potters, Robert Cochran & Company. It dates from the second half of the 19th century and was exported to South East Asia.

The pattern is called 'JAPAN'. The centre consists of a six-lobed flower shape with a scene of a ship at sea in the middle. The border design is of six rectangular sections featuring flying birds, foliage, and chameleon.

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.
