Howell & James: Sunflowers. Exhibited at the Howell & James exhibition in 1883. With their label. 41.5cms diameter. Unfortunately the exhibitor's name is indistinct apart from 'Miss', although it is possibly Robinson. There is also some numbers, possibly a catalogue number. The plate is also monogrammed with what looks like 'R', 'M' &'E'. 5cm rim hairline crack and some staining to underside. Three 'hanging' holes in base rim. Howell & James held annual exhibitions of ceramics decorated by women. Sunflowers are one of the quintessential motifs of the Aesthetic Movement.
