Description:
Bone china dish of ornate molded form. The decoration is a sheet pattern printed in green and enlivened with gilding. The mark on the back refers to Machin & Potts patent method of printing. The patent was taken out in September 1831 by John and William Wainwright Potts, who adapted a textile process and used engraved cylinders or rollers, to produce a continuous stream of prints on tissue ready for application to pottery. The process could be used to produce conventional designs in which the patterns were in a shape to match a particular pottery form, or it could produce sheet patterns, in which the whole tissue rolls were printed with a repeating pattern that could be applied to any shape object. Other pieces in this pattern are known with a different mark as can be seen in the additional photographs.
