Bowl, 11.5 x 8 x 3 inches. Brown transfer with polychrome clobbering. Printed maker's mark for Edge, Malkin & Co. This version of the "Osborne" pattern features a hexagonal cartouche along one long edge with a rural scene depicting a bucolic waterside in the foreground, a sailboat on water in the middle ground, and a castle in the background. The cartouche is framed by a trailing branch of wild roses and small seven-point flowers. The rest of the interior features interspersed sprigs of the seven-point flowers. On the exterior each side features either a trailing branch of wild roses or a sprig of the seven-point flowers. The rim is gilded with a simple line.
The partners were Joseph Edge, William Millett Edge, John Wilcox Edge, and James Malkin. In 1892 John Wilcox Edge retired from the business. In 1893 James Malkin retired and William Spencer Millett Edge joined the business. In 1894 Sydney Malkin left the partnership and the business was continued by the Edge family alone - the name Edge, Malkin & Co was continued. By 1902 the business was bankrupt and went into voluntary liquidation. S. Webster Dean (who was the chairman of Edge, Malkin & Co.) continued the business until 1910.
