A fine Dublin delft octagonal dish decorated in blue with the "Two Bird & Fence" pattern after similar designs on Chinese porcelain. These large octagonal serving dishes were a particular feature of Irish and Liverpool delftware. The reverse of the dish is painted with a design that is slightly different to that seen on Liverpool examples (see Irish Delftware by Peter Francis fig 13a for a comparison). The dish is in wonderful undamaged and unrestored condition. It measures 18 1/2 inches x 13 1/2 inches and is 1 1/2 inches deep.
