Maker: Pratt  Pattern: Native Scenery

F and R Pratt of Fenton, Staffordshire produced their Native Scenery from about 1880 to 1920. It is the same design as Native made by W Adams of Stoke in the 1820s and it seems likely that Pratts acquired the printing plates from the Adams factory at some point and re-introduced the pattern as Pratts Native Scenery. In the early 1920s Pratts and Wardle both became part of Cauldon. The scene is believed to depict Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Sarah Ponsoby known as the Ladies of Llangollen, who lived together in north Wales from 1790 to 1831.
The glaze is crazed and has taken up some associated staining and there are two hairlines in the base. Not for use, but does make an unusual display piece.
