DescriptionFazackerly plate with incised foot ring. Blue tin glaze decorated with a bouquet of flowers tied with a string ribbon. Details in manganese-black, central flower in manganese, foliage in mixed green, and other flowers in yellow, deep red, and blue in the Fazackerly manner. On the rim, a bianco-sopra-bianco border of leaf scrolls and stylized flowers.Label TextThis plate has been ascribed to Bristol because this version of bianco-sopra-bianco decoration is generally believed to have been made only there. The so-called Fazackerly flowers are often attributed to Liverpool, but they appear also to have been produced in Bristol with variations in a darker palette.
