Sugar bowl, 8.5x6.5 inches (21.6x16.5cm). Brown transfer. Printed maker's mark for the Old Hall Earthenware Co. Ltd. This aptly named pattern features a clump of clovers and daisies on both broad sides. The border consists of a single, rectangular cartouche with a folded bottom-right corner filled partially with circles and diagonal lines and a single daisy bloom. The lid features leafy stems from the clovers and daisies on either side of the handle. The side handles are decorated with a single vertical stem with parallel leaves and small circular berries.

The Old Hall Earthenware Co. Ltd. was an English pottery established in the Staffordshire town of Hanley in 1805 by Job Meigh (d 1817). It was successively known as Job Meigh (1805–12), Job Meigh & Son (1812–34), Charles Meigh (1834–49), C. Meigh, Son & Pankhurst (1850–51), Charles Meigh & Son (1851–61), Old Hall Earthenware Co. Ltd (1861–86) and Old Hall Porcelain Works Ltd (1886–1902). In March 1861 Charles Meigh Jr. transferred the business to a limited liability company called the Old Hall Earthenware Co Ltd. This was the first limited liability company in the Staffordshire Potteries. In the 1880s the designers included Christopher Dresser. The pottery closed in 1902 and the Old Hall Works was demolished in 1904.
