The decoration is transfer printed, as was most porcelain in Liverpool at this time.

In this period teawares were the main output from Liverpool. With fierce competition from the
Staffordshire potteries, porcelain production was less viable than it had been even a decade earlier.

The porcelain bodies & decoration of some of the Liverpool factories are very similar & very difficult to tell apart, the Pennington family were involved in a number of porcelain manufacturers, which helps to confuse the picture of who made which pieces. This Pattern is by Seth Pennington or Pennington & Part, the John Pennington version is slightly different.

The underside shows the "peppering" from soot in the kiln, which is common on Liverpool wares, you can also see the hairline from the rim, and the lack of a makers mark.

Overall this is a nice example of a Liverpool saucer in a pattern seen less often than some, & with a hairline crack its only detraction. A nice addition to your collection of Antique English Porcelain.
