ca. 1783-1792 (made)
| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
The dish matches a sherd excavated on the site of the Wirksworth porcelain factory in Derbyshire, and it is possible that the dish was made from a plaster mould purchased at the sale of the Wirksworth factory in 1777. A letter of 1778 shows that Thomas Turner, the manger of the Caughley works, thought highly of the products of the Wirksworth factory.
