Dish, 7.5 x 5.75 inches. Brown transfer with polychrome clobbering. Printed maker's mark for T. & R. Boote. The registry diamond indicates a pattern registration date of 13 January 1883. The inclusion of "England" in the mark indicates a manufacture date of c. 1891-1920. The pattern is unusual in that it portrays what could have been an actual scene in Yosemite at the time of its production. Here are seen the huge trees (one fallen) that the park is famous for. Several men on horseback are seen in the forest, one appears to be riding out of the rotted center of a giant fallen log. The border consists of a chain of flowers.

T. & R. Boote was founded in 1842 by Thomas Latham Boote and Richard Boote who rented the 3-bottle oven Central Pottery in Burslem. Later the business moved to the Kilncroft Works and then around 1850 took over the Waterloo Pottery from Thomas Edwards. At some time, Edward Barker and John Mare Harrison were partners in the business and they left the partnership in 1861. Thomas Latham Boote retired in September 1879 and the business was continued by Richard Boote with the help of the sons. In 1891 Richard Boote died. In 1894 the business became a limited liability company.
