A Lund's Bristol scallop shell pickle dish, circa 1748-50The mould probably cast from an actual shell, painted in blue with a Chinese vase containing two feathers in front of a partly unrolled scroll, an insect in flight to one side, the border with three long feathers entwined with ribbons, a shell flanked by two leaves at the base, the underside with two leafy branches, 9.6cm longFootnotesChemical analysis of a distinctive class of 'Limehouse' pickle dishes has shown these to be primarily of the Mg-P-Pb type and therefore made from a formula containing soaprock. While some examples appear to be more highly vitrified or glassy than others, it seems likely that all were manufactured at Bristol. See Ray Jones The Origins of Worcester Porcelain (2018), pp.248-51, where a dish with identical decoration is illustrated on p.249, no.JY5. Another similar dish was in the Susi and Ian Sutherland Collection sold at Bonhams on 3 October 2007, lot 107.
