This soft paste porcelain plate was probably made at William Littler's West Pans Pottery in East Lothian. It dates from around 1770.

The plate has been painted with sprigs of flowers.

Littler arrived in Scotland in the early 1760s after the failure of his Longton Hall factory in Staffordshire. The founder of Scotland's porcelain industry, Littler was keen to seek the custom of the landed gentry. Consequently his factory made high quality, if uneconomical, wares. It closed in 1777.
