Maker: Burton  Pattern: Vase of Flowers

Gorgeous shell shape dessert dish with moulded and decorated side handle and all on a generous foot rim. An absolute delight. The pattern is a bold floral design printed in a darkish blue and includes a large vase, butterflies and a bird. Made by Samuel and John Burton of Burslem, Staffordshire, who were in business from 1832 to 1845. The pattern name is a given one and it is sometimes known as Lovick's pattern after the Norwich retailer, whose printed backstamp has been recorded on this design.
No maker's backstamp as is typical with this pattern.
A little fine crazing to the glaze here and there, a few utensil marks and a little wear to the rim from use, otherwise almost as new, shiny and bright.
