The cnetre of the dish is decorated with a single flower head. Diameter 8.1 cm (3.2")
From the collection of Gerald Davison, and with his label attached giving a dating of C14th Century. We prefer to date this slightly later.
Dating: late 15th or early C16th Century
Condition:
There is some wear and softening to the glaze of this dish, perhaps from burial, most noticeable in the centre, and one very small rim chip. Please see the images.
