Fluted plate, 7 inches diameter. Brown transfer with polychrome clobbering and gilding. The printed mark belongs to S. Hancock. Like the other patterns in the "Wild Flowers" series, this pattern features sprays of wildflowers. The large spray of purple and yellow flowers resemble hibiscus or rose of Sharon and are superimposed over wild grasses. There is a small spray of yellow flowers opposite and a sprig of pale purple flowers above.

The business was started by Sampson Hancock, a prominent Wesleyan Methodist, at Victoria Street, Tunstall in 1857/58. In 1876 he moved to the Bridge Works, Church Street, Stoke and was joined by Benjamin Hancock. The partnership was dissolved in December 1881 when Benjamin retired from the business and Sampson continued on his own account. In 1892 Sampson Hancock moved to the Gordon Works in Wolfe Street, Stoke and became Sampson Hancock & Sons.
