attractive Caughley porcelain blue and white pickleleaf
dish in excellent condition with a particularly fine, crisp, underglaze blue transfer
print of the popular

Cormorant pattern. Contemporary accounts refer to these
dishes as "Vine
leaves for Pickles" and the pattern as "Pleasure Boat". A great
addition to your fine 18th century blue and white early English
porcelain collection." Antiques Expert Hamilton Bear.
References:
The print is the Caughley example of the Fisherman

factory wasters.
