Plate, 7 inches diameter. The registry diamond indicates the pattern was registered on 20 October 1883. The painted pattern number "1364" is specifically for this painted version of the pattern. This pattern is one in the series William Alsager Adderley gave the French name for 'English' - “Anglais." This pattern employs design elements characteristic of the Aesthetic Movement in England. Each scene in the series shows a countryside view in a large central cartouche with a smaller accompanying cartouche insert.

The source print for Abbotsford, from The Rev. F.O. Morris's "Picturesque Views of Seats", c. 1880, is pictured on the same page, as is the source print "Loch Katrine, Ben Venue & Ellen's Isle" by W. Banks, published in a collection of views of the Scottish Lake District c. 1850. The central image, surrounded by sticks tied together, shows Abbotsford, a historic house in the region of the Scottish Borders in the south of Scotland. It is near Melrose, on the south bank of the River Tweed, and was formerly the residence of historical novelist and poet, Sir Walter Scott.

The scene in the small rectangular cartouche is Ellen's Isle. The details are not clear in this image; however, we see the overhanging tree beyond which is water with layers of tall mountains in the background. Ellen’s Isle is an island in Loch Katrine, a freshwater loch in the district of Stirling, Scotland. The loch derives its name from the term cateran from the Gaelic ceathairne, a collective word meaning cattle thief or possibly peasantry. Historically this referred to a band of fighting men of a clan; hence the term applied to marauders or cattle-lifters, the most notorious of whom was Rob Roy MacGregor who was born at Glengyle House at the northern end of the Loch. It is the fictional setting of Sir Walter Scott's poem The Lady of the Lake and of the subsequent opera by Gioachino Rossini, La donna del lago.

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.
