n style and texture the roulette-wheeled and stamped outlines on this dish
resemble those on a Jongridge collection floral-patterned dish (no. S37)
and 
dishes attributed to Samuel Malkin (nos. S11, S14 S16).' The slip trailing
on the 
dish shown here is less sophisticated in quality, however. 
   Checkerboard patterns, unusual on Fnglish slipware, form central motils
on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Italian tin-glazed earthenware unearthed
in the Netherlands and elsewhere.- North Holland trailed slipware from the
same period also displays checkerboard centers, and, on at least one example,
the squares are filled with crosses. Slipware of this general type was traded
to 
Britain in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.' 
DECORATION: Relief-molded and 
trailed. Checkerboard pattern with 
crosses, Concentric-circle and cross- 
filled-diamond borders.
