Maker: Smith  Pattern: Number 21

William Smith Stockton on Tees. Absolutely charming teabowl and saucer with bird motif to the centre of the saucer and inside to the base of the bowl. Backstamp: W S & Co No 21 and impressed W S & Co's Wedgewood. (An injunction was taken out in 1848 preventing the use of Wedgwood on Smiths wares, whatever the spelling!)
To the saucer there is a little surface scratching and a small piece of grit in the glaze, and on the back one or two lines of crazing and a little very minor discolouration. The bowl in excellent condition.

Dimensions: Bowl 8 cm diameter, 5 cm high, saucer 13.5 cm / Bowl 3.25 ins diameter, 2 ins high, saucer 5.25 i
