About the Item

The so-called ‘Crowther Plate’ dated January 1770: Octagonal, painted in blue underglaze with the monogram ‘RC’ in a floral cartouche and with elaborate scroll, pendant and cell and foliage rim borders with stylized pineapples. The underside in blue underglaze with the inscription ‘MR. ROBERT CROWTHER, STOCKPORT CHESHIRE, January 1770’. Grey-white body with blued glaze. No discernible translucency. W. 8.4 in (21.3 cm). Provenance: Taylor Collection; Winifred Williams, UK, 1980. Robert Crowther, a Stockport silk merchant was probably a relative of John Crowther, partner in the Bow undertaking. Other examples, presumably from the same set: British Museum (Gift Henry Willett, 1886 [I.36]), (i) with inscription (illustrated, Bow Special Exhibition, 1959, Cat. #139, Figs 53 and 54) and (ii) without inscription; (iii) V&A, with inscription, (Wallace Elliot Bequest C.59-1938, illustrated Young, 1999, Plate 4) and (iv) Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, with inscription (Accession #EC.8-1946, gift Nicholas Radford, 1946).
