Dish, brown transfer. Printed maker's mark for Henry Alcock & Co. This pattern features a wide ribbon cartouche that is folded several times and is superimposed over two other ribbon-like cartouches. All cartouches are filled with flowers, foliage, geometric designs, and the larger ribbon has semi-circular cartouches within it.

The firm of Henry Alcock was started in 1861 at the Elder Pottery in Cobridge formerly operated by John Alcock. General earthenware was produced, including white graniteware produced under the names “Ironstone China” and “Parisian porcelain” exclusively for the American markets. The firm continued at Cobridge until 1910 when the Clarence Works at Stoke were engaged. The firm then continued at Stoke under the name 'The Henry Alcock Pottery' until 1935.
