In this example we find cucumbers, asparagus, cherries and strawberries beautifully painted with a simple brown line border which runs around the edge of the plate. Arguably Chelsea porcelain botanical plates are some of the most attractive and desirable pieces of early English porcelain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(17, 17, 17);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast;\"\u003eSIGNATURES, MARKINGS \u0026amp; INSCRIPTIONS:\u003c\/span\u003e Painted small brown anchor mark (see The Gen), ground foot rim, stilt marks, and BADA sticker.

This was probably nothing more than a matter of convenience, as the brush (termed a ‘pencil’ in the ceramic industry) was ready charged with this pigment, the liner having painted the border in this colour as the last decorating operation. It will be observed that the brown anchor normally only appears on flat-wares having the brown line-edge.” (\u003ci\u003eThe Illustrated Guide to British Porcelain\u003c\/i\u003e, Geoffrey A.
