Description
A leafy arch and sundial give this blue and white garden plate its quiet architectural focus.
Tall clipped shrubs, flowers and a clouded sky fill the scene, with the decoration extending across the face rather than occupying a small central vignette. The underside has no readable printed factory name; it carries an impressed 338 and a faint additional impression. The garden design supports an attribution to Palissy Pottery's Enchanta pattern, with an estimated 1950s production period. The round outline gives the continuous garden scene a broad, uninterrupted surface, with the foreground flowers reaching towards the edge. The scene's archway, formal planting and central garden feature provide the most useful visible details for further pattern comparison. Related pieces appear in Ceramics and Blues and Whites.
