A rare English running fox decorated delft plate, marked Prh and dated 1736, Lambeth or Bristol origin, 22 cm diameter, Note: Animals do not appear to have formed An important part of the delftware decorators' repertoire. When they do appear, they are usually the hare, the rabbit, the stag or the fox closely pursued by hounds. Pieces on which animals appear by themselves were made, but they are not at all common. Very few later pieces have survived but a plate in the Bristol City Gallery depicts a sheep with the inscription 'Jos. Hosken esqr. Carines 1771', it seems to have been made for a farmer., Reference: Anthony Ray, English Delftware Pottery in the Robert Hall Warren Collection, Ashmolean Museum Oxford, Faber and Faber Ltd, London, p. 177
