Owing to problems caused by salts and acids in pickles and preserves, most factories produced pickle dishes in underglaze blue only. A few Worcester pickle leaves of vine leaf shape occur with overglaze decoration from the later 1760s and 1770s but very few from this early period appear to be recorded. A very similar pickle dish from the R David Butti Collection was sold by Bonhams on 10 September 2008, lot 244. At the time it was thought to be the only surviving example of this type.
