Piercings on rim and foot outlined in deep blue. Central scene on inner surface shows two cows on bridge, under which flows a stream; three stags, and classical ruins in foreground; crescent-shaped Neoclassical structure beyond with more stags on lawn, two men in boat; and Gothic ruin on hill in background. Said to be a composite of various scenes in Bath, although 1966 catalogue card states: "Former cataloguer (CBW) says that a paper label read: "Corse." Two repairs at either end of rim on under surface suggest that dish may once have had handles. Badly crazed.
