Three English delftware plates, circa 1740-60

Painted in blue with panels reserved on a powder manganese ground, one with eight stylised floral panels encircling a central European landscape, a gentleman gazing over his shoulder at a distant town with tall spire, another with a central chinoiserie scene of conversation at a doorway, the third plate with a Chinese figure beside oriental plants and a fence, four fish around the rim, 21.5cm diam (3)

Footnotes

Provenance
Warren Collection (first mentioned)
With Jonathan Horne, 1991 and 2003 (first and third mentioned)
Graham Slater Collection

The first-mentioned plate is probably Wincanton or Bristol, see Frank Britton, English Delftware in the Bristol Collection (1982) for a very similar example. This plate predates the second and third plates, which are more likely to be Liverpool, circa 1750-60. However, Michael Archer attributes a plate almost identical to the example with fish border to London, William Griffith of Lambeth High Street, based on shards excavated by Garner at the site.
