Plate, 7.25 inches diameter. Black transfer with polychrome clobbering. The "Rd. No. 153" dates this pattern registration to 1884. The hand-painted pattern number "4/1343", indicates the colors over the glaze. The pattern consists of three cartouches framed by blooming flowers in pink, orange, and blue with green leaves. The large rectangular cartouche consists of a simple line border and features a village scene with a man and a cat and two children playing in the foreground. The circular cartouche has the same line border and contains a water scene with plants in the foreground and a castle in the hills with birds flying above in the background. The square cartouche features a cottage in the countryside within a geometric parquet pattern. A simple yellow painted line covers the rim of the plate.

In 1853 the lease of the Daisy Bank Pottery was sold to Messrs. Hulse Nixon and Adderley. The freehold of the premises was afterwards purchased from John Edward Heathcote Esq. by Hulse Nixon and Adderley. In 1869 Mr. Nixon died and the firm was changed to Hulse and Adderley and so continued until 1874 when Mr. Hulse having died in the preceding year, it was altered to that of William A. Adderley who was the surviving partner and then the sole proprietor of the place. The productions were china and earthenware for the home. The markets were Canada, West India, South America, Australia, New Zealand, and the operations were conducted on a large scale. Adderley’s usual trademark was a ship in full sail.
