Dish

1770-1793

Large, single-reeded circular dish with shallow, flat well; no foot ring. Underside of well is struck with at least eight marks, the incuse serif letters "T.C" at center, a scrolled cartouche containing "LONDON" in raised serif letters and two goat-and-cipher oval touch marks for Robert Bush & Co. at top and four partial hallmarks at bottom (left to right): "[B]& C\o." between horizontal bands in a rectangle, Britannia seated in a square, a lion's head erased facing left in a five-point shield and a four- or five-petaled rose in a clipped-corner square.
