Maker: Old Hall  Pattern: Asiatic Pheasants

Old Hall Earthenware Company Limited of Hanley. A most unusual dish. It is the fairly common rectangular shape with moulded side handles and standing on four small feet. The base, however has a central divide which has lovely Pheasant decoration each side. As for condition ...well the base is crazed with associated staining and where the divide joins the main dish there are small stress cracks. The lid has fine crazing but otherwise is fine. This is probably a marriage as the base is a slightly steelier blue than the cover. Blue printed backstamp on the base OHE Co Ltd
