A lovely example of antique, late eighteenth century, English pottery - a pearlware, or china glazed, dinner plate with an unusual moulded edge of a combination of inset shell edged and royal edged. A very similar moulded plate is attributed to William Greatbatch who operated at Fenton from 1760 until 1782. (Ref 1.) The pearlware bodied, press moulded plate has been made with the lip and ornate "Royal edge"  with the inner edge of the lip being moulded in low relief reminiscent of sea shells. The shell edge of the inner lip has been decorated with cobalt blue oxide under the glaze. The well of the plate has been painted under the glaze in cobalt blue with a "Pagoda and Fence" pattern with the cavetto having a diaper and line border. The pagoda has been painted with three storeys in a two dimensional manner, the design and layout has some similarities to the painting designs of the Leeds Pottery. (Ref 2)

This lovely very decorative dinner plate dates from the Georgian period during the reign of George III circa 1780. 

The plate is is is good and unrestored condition, there are two chips to the rim at the 3 o'clock position. There is a hairline in the glaze to below to the right of the boulder in the foreground. The glaze on the plate has flowed during firing and there are some smudges and running to the front and pooling to the base. Please see the images. The price takes the condition into account. 

This is a beautiful, interesting and decorative example of antique English pottery from late 18th century of the Georgian period of a type that the Staffordshire makers termed - china glazed and edged ware .
