Pattern book, [ca. 1857]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/84666130

Contains 147 watercolor patterns for plates and hollowares (pitchers). Many of the designs are in the "Gaudy Dutch" and "Gaudy Welch" styles; others suggest an oriental influence or are for lusterware. All are numbered and several feature titles; for example, "flower mulberry" and "flower blue." A few of the patterns have pencil notations about colors used. One is signed, E. Whatten. The volume bears a striking resemblance to the pattern books of John Ridgway, another Hanley potter, suggesting that the same artist may have worked for both firms.
