dish made in Castleford, Yorkshire, England

Oval dish handpainted by Mrs England of Castleford in a bold design of flowers and leaves, which matches a tea set painted by her. Classes for amateurs to paint pottery began in Castleford about 1920 and went on until the 1950s. The pottery was made at Clokie and Co. and after painting it was returned to the pottery for its gloss firing.
