- Description
- A group of pieces with high decorator numbers, a distinct style of floral decoration and red chain or looping bands. Not all are numbered. These pieces seem likely to date from late 1777 or the first half of 1778 when the Bristol factory workforce peaked before being cut very dramatically in August 1778
