It clearly is a toll bridge as there is a large fence with a gate in it on the right hand end of the bridge exactly in the line of sight of the viewer so it appears as a thin vertical line, but you can see the baulks of timber holding it upright, and the gate is open. There is heavy fencing round the left hand end to prevent people climbing round. If anyone knows what bridge this is I would be grateful for the information.

This is not the view on a similar pickle dish illustrated in A. W. Coysh & R. K. Henrywood, The Dictionary of Blue and White Printed Pottery 1780-1880 2 (1989), p.35.

It is good to see provenance labels even though they become meaningless out of context. Someone loved this piece enough to record the family member from whom it descended.

The backstamp is almost identical with the "Japan Opaque China" backstamp.

The base of this plate is heavily potted, and so thick that the seller thought it was a tureen stand.

The tally mark, a "2", is in a very odd place, right on the extreme edge of the plate.
