An additional circular plate is included, featuring a differing blue and white transfer-printed pattern of large stylized floral blooms and scrolling foliage. The base of the Tsing platter bears an elaborate blue underglaze printed mark featuring a central urn-shaped cartouche containing the text WOODS WARE RALPH 1750 ENOCH 1784. To the left is the pattern name TSING. To the right, the mark reads WOOD & SONS ENGLAND PEDRO BIGNOLIER BUENOS AIRES RTN: 662903, indicating the pieces were manufactured for export to a retailer in Argentina.
