Plate, 5.5 inches diameter. Printed maker's mark for William Alsager Adderley & Co. The printed registry diamond dates the registration of this pattern to 20 October 1883. This plate is another scene in the "Anglais" series, and features Windsor Castle in the large cartouche and Holyrood Palace in the smaller cartouche. The source print for Windsor Castle is from "Picturesque Views of Seats" by The Rev. F.O. Morris, c. 1880.
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.
