Samuel Alcock "Flow Blue" soup plate, 10.3" diameter, c1826-1859 "Flow Blue" pottery (sometimes also called "flown blue" or "floating blue") is particularly prized by many collectors. Usually found on earthenware from the mid 19th century, the characteristic blurred effect was created by using a special pigment for the printed pattern and then adding a special quicklime-based composition to the firecase in the kiln. This soup plate is in good condition, with minor crazing. The blue pattern is enhanced with gilding and a brown lustre rim. Our price £215 US$365 €310
