Description

A very fine Bow pickle dish decorated with fruiting vines.  Circa 1760

Bow porcelain and early phosphate porcelain containing high levels of bone ash was prone to failure in the kiln. The Bow manufactory was ultimately to fall into the same hands as it’s rival Chelsea. both were purchased by William Dewsbury of Derby.
