CAUGHLEY SWEETMEAT ESCALLOP SHELL

Also known as “The Pleasure Boat pattern”, of molded shell form with a tall fisherman holding a

short fish on a pleasure boat within a shaped rim with cell diapering and spearhead border;  

underglaze blue script S mark for Salopian (London Caughley Outlet)

 

Note:

This was one of the most popular patterns of the day.  It is unclear whether Caughley or Worcester introduced the pattern.  While it is now called “Fisherman”by Caughley and

“Fisherman & Cormorant” by Worcester, in its day it was simply known as “Pleasure Boat”. 

Also made by some of the Liverpool manufactories, the pattern was out of fashion by 1790.

and several glaze skips to the center, visible in image
