Plate, 7.375 inches diameter. Brown transfer with polychrome clobbering. Printed makers mark for Forester & Hulme. The Rd. number dates the registration of this pattern to 1889. This floral pattern features scalloped arches around the rim with the negative spaces infilled with a base sheet crackle pattern with circles and a single stylized flower with four leaves between each arch. There is an illusion of a circular thorny branch running behind the pointed bases of each arch with sprigs of flowers and foliage with berries trailing down into the well under the apex of each arch. The border consists of a thin band of repeated stylized flowers.
Thomas Forester started earthenware manufacture at the works in 1884 and continued until 1887/78. Forester then took Joseph Booth Hulme into partnership c. 1887 and they operated as Forester and Hulme. This partnership continued until December 1892 when Thomas Forester left the business. Hulme then entered into partnership with John James Christie - operating as Hulme & Christie.
