| References | The green landscapes are very unusual, and only appear on these plates. Their closest comparison is to the raised- gold flowers seen on the superior wares, on the same shaped plates. The number is interesting, and is not referring to the pattern no. 560 seen on tea wares- a rather plain turquoise & gold- but to a separate pattern book system used for services. The size of these plates would suggest a dinner service, which are scarce from Rockingham; smaller dessert services are more often encountered. |
