Plate, 8.625 inches diameter. Brown transfer. Maker unknown. The printed pattern mark is unusual. This pattern has been documented as "Tunis" by Whittingham, Ford & Riley and the subsequent firm, Ford & Riley. On this particular plate however, the pattern is listed as "Bowness" and where the maker would normally appear, it instead says "Wesleyan Chapel 1883." There is a town called Bowness-on-Windermere in Cumbria, England where the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was built in 1883. It seems as if this pattern was produced commemoratively, despite the lack of any visual connection to either the town or the chapel.

The pattern is comprised of three cartouches: oval, rectangular, and round, which contain three different infills. The round cartouche shows two sailboats with sailors on the water with mountains in the background. The rectangular cartouche features a man fishing in a river opposite a cliff with a castle on top and an arched bridge spanning the middle ground. The oval cartouche is infilled with small flowers and leaves. Behind the cartouches are flowering branches and ferns.
