Maker: Ridgway  Pattern: Number 6 29 blue with colour

By John Ridgway of Cauldon Works, Shelton, Hanley. Other pieces in this pattern are recorded with a diamond registration mark for 4 December 1845 registered in the name of John Ridgway for 3 shapes of dinnerware.
Small chinoiserie vignettes surround a central floral pattern in hues of teracotta. The drainer stands on four small feet.
No backstamp, but pattern number in ochre script 6 over 29 and Ridgway was one of the few factories to get to a 6 series of patterns.
Crazed with some discolouration which is minor on the front and heavier on the back. There is a little damage around some of the holes and a couple of very small minor chips to the rim. Overall a lovely drainer.

Dimensions: 37.5 cm x 28 cm / 14.75 ins x 11 ins
