An Isleworth saucer, dated 1782

Of plain form, printed in blue with the 'Fisherman' pattern, including a seated figure on the left of the image who holds a fish and a fishing rod, inscribed in blue to the reverse 'Mary Frances 1782', 12cm

Footnotes

Provenance:
The Rowland Williams Collection

Curiously, Isleworth made at least three different versions of the Fisherman pattern. The Fisherman, or 'Pleasure Boat' pattern was in common use at Worcester and Caughley with some minor differences between the two. The Isleworth versions, however, show some more significant differences, most notable in the replacement of the cormorant to the left of the print with another fisherman figure. See Geoffrey Godden, English Blue and White Porcelain (2004), pls. 290-292 and p 235 for a discussion of this.
