Specialist note


Several comparable dishes are illustrated in W. Gaunt and M.D.E. Clayton-Stamn, William de Morgan, London, 1971, most notable perhaps is pl. 100, p. 114, decorated with a 'giant fish surrounded by smaller fish', whilst illustrated in black and white it is described as painted in two tones of lustre, as the smaller dish is here, that example is dated circa 1888.
