Patterns of the Month

"Fisherman" by Enoch Wood & Sons (1818-1846). This 7" plate is from the 1835-1846 period. Although this plate is printed in underglaze brown and blue, the pattern is also found printed in combinations of red and black, blue and black and red and green, and probably more color combinations!  The factory also used different borders for this series, as well as different centers, a highly unusual occurrence. 

Plate, 9 inches.  As there is no other name, the pattern is known by the number printed with the name of the factory,  Enoch Wood & Sons (1818-1846.)  Although the pattern looks oriental, it is actually a romanticized version of an oriental pattern, and thus is found in Romantic Themes/Oriental in the database. 

"Romantic Castle #1" by Davenport (1794-1887) is part of a series found in many color combinations.  Each size has a different center pattern unified by the same border.  This pattern, which is found on a 10.75 inch plate, is printed in three colors under the glaze. 
 

"Sporting Scenes" printed in underglaze brown by J.F. Wileman (1870-1892)

Festoon Border by Enoch Wood & Sons c. 1818-1846 The border has 6 reserves with 3 different suspension bridges and 3 garden scenes. The center pattern features a large Gothic style building near a body of water. It is found in several different color combinations.
