Ralph Kenber Collection

Lund's Bristol first produced this model in underglaze blue two or three years prior to Worcester. The manufacture of pickle leaf dishes with the more costly enamelled decoration is mostly concentrated in the short period between 1752-55, after when it was, presumably, conceded that the delicate overglaze decoration was not best suited to serve acidic pickles. For a similar example see H Rissik Marshall, Coloured Worcester Porcelain (1954), pl.45, no. 931.
