Blue & white transfer printed pearlware pottery saucer, showing a group of inebriated cherubs picking grapes. Measures 4-3/4″ in diameter.
Made in England by Patterson & Co. in the early 19th century.
Marked on the bottom with the number “84” in blue, but without a maker’s name.
Saucer was repaired in the 19th century and is now held together with one dozen metal staples, including some of the smallest examples I have ever seen at 3/8″ long.
