Description

Hand painted cockerel plate and bowl said to be the work of one woman, namely Sarah Jane Roberts (1859-1935). She was one of the daughters of Thomas Roberts and was known affectionately as Aunty Sal. The cockerels always face to the left and stand upon a tear drop-shaped piece of ground. However, the sponge decorated borders vary considerably; butterflies and flowers and leaves were popular border designs. The design seems to have been original.
