Three English delftware plates circa 1752 and 1772
One probably Bristol painted in blue with a border of three fish, the centre with peonies and a fence, 22.5cm diam, the other pair Bristol, perhaps Temple Backs Pottery, with a manganese 'cracked ice' ground and panels of blue Chinese pavilions, 23.2cm diam (3)

A very similar plate with cracked ice is recorded with the inscribed date 1772, while the same pattern with fish in polychrome is inscribed with the date 1752, see Lipski and Archer, Dated English Delftware (1984), figs. 669 and 553.
