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 'BEE AND ROSE'. The centre shows stylized roses with buds and leaves and an exotic insect. The border pattern consists of a diamond pattern at the rim and four panels with stylized leaves and flowers

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.
