Summary
One smaller plate from a black earthenware tea set made locally at the Sibley Pottery, Wareham, to Lawrence's design.
Provenance
'Tea-spoons, it is; and as tea is for visitors there should be four of them, I think. As yet I have no tea-cups or plates, but I have found a pottery near Poole and a month ago I threw a sample cup and saucer, which is drying. When it dries well, I hope to glaze it with galena, a lustrous brown-black which I used with great success before the war for earthenware - and then I shall have a decent tea-service.' See L-LMPB, 5.3.1934.
