Plate, 6 inches diameter. Black transfer with polychrome clobbering. Printed maker's mark for T. & R. Boote. The registry diamond dates the pattern registration to 7 January 1880 and the inclusion of "England" dates the manufacture to c. 1891-1920. The pattern name "Lahore," which the capital of Pakistan, could possibly be a reference to that locale's fame for cotton cloth and carpets. The border design of this pattern may well be intended to look like a carpet pattern. The central image consists of a vignette of two small children seated on the edge of a well fishing. The border consists of swags of stylized flowers and foliage.

T. & R. Boote was founded in 1842 by Thomas Latham Boote and Richard Boote who rented the 3-bottle oven Central Pottery in Burslem. Later the business moved to the Kilncroft Works and then around 1850 took over the Waterloo Pottery from Thomas Edwards. At some time, Edward Barker and John Mare Harrison were partners in the business; they left the partnership in 1861. Thomas Latham Boote retired in September 1879 and the business was continued by Richard Boote with the help of the sons. In 1891 Richard Boote died. In 1894 the business became a limited liability company.
