A large oval dish or stand with a printed design in black. The pattern has a conventional border with a narrow band of beading at the edge and a continuous band of floral swags overlaid with narrow scrolling foliage. The center has a garland of flowers encircling a conventional motif. There are a number of marks on this piece that give us information about its production. The diamond shaped mark tells us that either the shape or the pattern was registered on 27th November, 1863 by Bodley & Harrold who were in business in Burslem from about 1862-1865. Above the diamond registration mark is a Staffordshire knot with the initials of the pottery company and the pattern name, SANDRINGHAM.
