Soup plate, 8.5 inches diameter. Brown transfer. Printed and impressed maker's marks for Edge, Malkin & Co. The Rd. No. dates the registration of this pattern to 1887. This pattern features a rectangular scroll cartouche with decorative lace edges and a border of small stylized flowers. Within the scroll a tower and trees are seen in the background with a body of water and a boater in the middle ground and a rocky shore in the foreground. The handsome spray of roses combined with grasses and ferns completes the pattern, with a spray of flowers on the right.
