This bowl is printed with Iron Bridge 1. It depicts the first arch bridge in the world to be made of cast iron. It opened in 1781 and crosses the River Severn two miles from the site of the Caughley factory. The print is found on bowls, cabbage leaf jugs, mugs and a loving cup. The pattern was continued at the Coalport factory. There is a very rare pattern Iron Bridge 2, known only on a tea bowl, which differs in a number of respects.
