CAUGHLEY SWEETMEAT SHELL,

England, c1775

In the “Fisherman”, or “Pleasure Boat” pattern, the molded shell with a tall fisherman holding a short fish on a

pleasure boat within a riverscape with a cormorant, another fisherman, pagodas, and flora all within a shaped rim

with cell diapering and spearhead border; impressed SALOPIAN mark verso

Condition: Excellent, no flaws observed

Note: This was one of the most popular patterns of the day. It is unclear whether Caughley or Worcester

introduced the pattern. While it is now called “Fisherman & Cormorant” by Worcester, and “Fisherman”

at Caughley, in its day it was simply known as “Pleasure Boat”.

Also made by some of the Liverpool manufactories, the pattern was out of fashion by 1790.
