Shallow Earthenware dish. Decorated with a ferocious lion striding across a background of pale leaves on a turquoise ground. Reverse decorated with concentric rings in turquoise, white and cobalt. Original price label on the back tells us that De Morgan sold the dish for 1 Pound, 10 shilings and 6 pence, which would have the same spending worth as £91.33 today.
