Vine  ()

Description: Technique: Transfer-printArchaeological Notes: Vine consists of a pattern of vine leaves and grapes (Brassey and Macready 1994: 42, 54 Fig. 23 C15). Only part of the pattern name is present on a supper plate from Victoria Hotel (Brassey and Macready 1994: 42, 62 Fig. 31b), but the name cannot be longer than four letters and the last two are NE, so the identification seems certain. Vine is described in Coysh and Henrywood 1984: 389) as a pattern of vine leaves and grapes manufactured by Baker, Evans and Irwin. The letters above are part of the word "Ironstone". Ironstone is "a hard, heavy earthenware, often slightly grey in colour, said to contain powdered slag from iron-smelting furnaces. The body was patented by Charles James Mason in 1813" (Coysh and Henrywood 1984: 191).
