Knife (England)

An oval ceramic platter densely decorated with realistic low-relief animals, shells, and plants. It has glossy, transparent glazes in blue, green, grey, brown, yellow, pink, and white. On a central blue-and-brown dappled island, a variety of shells, animals, and plants. At center, a round white clam shell, ringed by smaller round yellow shells. To the left of the yellow shells, a large pink spiral shell; to the right, two pointed white shells; below, a small green frog. Scattered around the island are various smaller shells in pink, yellow, and white, and bright green leaves. Surrounding the island, on a wavy blue background, four grey fishes appear to swim: two large fish at top and bottom, two small fish at right and left. Beyond the fish, around the rim of the plate, a dense border of various green plants, interspersed with white, pink, and yellow shells; and assorted animals. Working around the rim as if it were a clock face: at twelve o'clock, a green lizard; at one o'clock, a brown beetle; at three o'clock, a small green frog and pink and brown dragonfly; at six o'clock, a coiled grey snake and brown crayfish; at nine o'clock, a green frog and pink beetle; at eleven o'clock, a brown crayfish.
