Platter, 9.75 by 7 inches. Blue transfer. Maker is the Bovey Tracey Pottery Co. This pattern contains two cartouches: a hexagon featuring a castle, river and bridge, and a tall rectangle with cliffs, clouds, ocean and a large sun with multiple rays. Four half-circle flowers are slipped in behind all sides of the rectangular cartouche. Multiple flowers, leaves and fruit fill out the background.

The first pottery at Bovey Tracey was not on the site of the present pottery known under this name, but was carried on in some houses, which are parish property, near the modern railway station. The house is at present a carpenter's shop, and is at a corner just where the road turns off to the Bovey Heathfield. Tradition states that this pottery had mills to grind materials close to Bovey Bridge, and the remains of a mill and water-wheel existed on the left bank of the stream up to 1844. These works were carried on by a family of the name of Ellis; they were probably commenced in the earlier half of the 18th century and certainly were in work in 1755, and lasted for thirty years after that period. Nothing certain is known of the character of the ware of this first attempt at Bovey Tracey. Clay pipes are said to have been made, and jugs of a yellow body which are attributed to this period are to be found in houses in the neighborhood.
