Also known as Bird & Grasshopper pattern. A Chelsea shape dessert dish, with fluted rim, printed in dark blue with this traditional design, which was introduced about 1812.
This dish has had quite a life having been in three pieces and restuck, with several hairlines running in from rim. On display you would just about get away with it as almost perfect!
