Extra information:

This beautiful sherd was once part of an antique dinner plate featuring the "Clover" pattern by renowned Staffordshire pottery firm W. H. Grindley & Co., produced during the late Victorian period. Decorated in rich flow blue, the design showcases delicate three-leaf clover motifs likely spaced around a gently scalloped rim, offering a charming and restrained botanical aesthetic.

The distinctive flow blue glazing technique causes the cobalt outlines to softly blur during firing, lending the piece its signature dreamy quality - a hallmark of collectable English transferware from this era.

Crafted from durable ironstone, the plate is both decorative and functional, embodying the elegance of everyday tableware from the late 19th to the turn of the 20th century. The centre of the plate would have remained plain, allowing the patterned rim to shine with understated refinement.
