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 'CHINA DRAGON'. The centre shows a dragon with a monstrous head, snake-like body and clawed feet. The border design consists of eight panels of oriental-style scroll pattern.

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.
