A Lund's Bristol pickle dish

Provenance:
Mellor Cobham Collection

A Lund's Bristol scallop shell shaped pickle dish, painted in underglaze blue in Chinese style with a house in a mountainous river landscape, surrounded by scroll motifs, a shell flanked by two leaves beneath, 4 1/4" long, circa 1750, no mark

 This form of shell shaped pickle dish has in recent years been attributed to the Limehouse factory, but in now an addition to the pieces ascribed to Lund's Bristol
