拍場告示
Please note that this dish was almost certainly made at Lazencroft near Leeds, recent excavations on the factory site have revealed similar shards; documentary evidence places Malkin in Lazencroft in the 1740s. Christie's are most grateful to Roger Massey of the English Ceramics Circle for this information.
