Extra information:

This blue and white ceramic sherd features a stylised leaf motif, a popular decorative element in British pottery from the late l8th century through the 20th century. Leaf patterns, particularly those rendered in blue underglaze, were widely used by makers such as Spode, Wedgwood, Minton, and numerous Staffordshire potteries. The quality of the glaze and the intricacy of the design suggest that the sherd could have derived from a transferware bowl or a blue serving dish. The motif reflects both naturalist influences of the Georgian and Victorian eras and the enduring appeal of blue-and-white ware in domestic and export markets. This fragment offers a glimpse into everyday ceramics once prized for both function and beauty.
