An Irish delftware plate and another plate, possibly Irish, circa 1760-70 and 1748

Both with distinctive lobed rims, one painted in dark blue with the 'Two Deer and Fence' pattern within a 'Fitzhugh' border edged in orange, 22.8cm diam, the other plate with a scalloped and barbed rim, painted in bright blue with flowering rocks, 22cm diam (2)

Footnotes

The Two Deer pattern is discussed by Peter Francis, Irish Delftware (2000), pp.92-93. The other plate matches a well known service inscribed I.E.C. 1748, said to have come from Gosford Castle and made for John Crisp, owner of the Dublin pottery. More recent research, however, suggests a Bristol origin is more likely.
