CAUGHLEY SWEETMEAT ESCALLOP SHELL

Fisherman or Pleasure Boat Pattern

England, c1775, Impressed SALOPIAN

 

 

 

In the “Fisherman”, or “Pleasure Boat” pattern, the molded shell with a tall fisherman holding a short fish on a

pleasure boat within a riverscape with a cormorant, another fisherman, pagodas, and flora all within a shaped rim

with cell diapering and spearhead border; impressed SALOPIAN mark verso

 

Condition: Excellent, no flaws observed

 

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 & Cormorant” by Worcester, and “Fisherman”

at Caughley, 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.
