Yellow Tiger Pattern Saucer

This is an interesting English saucer that is a bit of a mystery to me as to who made it. Definitely made in England and probably late 18th century to early 19th century. The design is called the yellow Tiger pattern and it off course is heavily influenced by a Meissen design. The saucer is rather deep. The footring is glazed. It was sold as Caughley but unless it was made after Coalport bought them out it does not strike me as having been done by them. The deepth of the saucer points to possibly Chamberlain or one of the Rockingham / Daniel / Ridgway factories but I cannot pinpoint any one maker. Nothing like it in my books nor online. So if anyone out there has more of a clue a quick note would be appreciated. EIther way it is a nice saucer with a nice rim relief design to it. The outlines of the designs are printed with the color painted in. There is the yellow tiger in the center wrapped around some bamboo as well as four other designs around the rim. Gold trim to the edge. It's a nice saucer. In good condition with some paste flaws and a touch of wear mainly to the high points of the gold trim and to the blue section of one of the rim designs as shown. The dish is 1.375 inches tall with a diameter of 6.375 inches. Unmarked so that is of no help. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $149
