CAUGHLEY SWEETMEAT ESCALLOP SHELL
“FISHERMAN PATTERN”

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.
Condition : Excellent; a minute nick to the left base at corner and several glaze skips to the center, visible in image
