A delftware small lobed dish or cracknell c.1660-80, possibly London or Continental, painted in blue with a seated Chinaman amongst rockwork, the same design echoed twice to the lobed rim, raised on a low foot, 21.3cm. Whilst Continental examples of this shape are more common, this has nine lobes rather than the more usual eight, a form which it shares with a dish in the Henry Francis du Pont Winterthur Museum painted with the arms of the London Company of Drapers. Provenance: from the Brian Adams collection.
