Pot-lid, earthenware, circular shape with cylindrical flange and convex top, the flange and underside of the lid partially obscured by the frame; the upperside of the lid decorated with an underglaze polychrome transfer-print of 'Bell Vue Tavern (with carriage)' (although this exact carriage is not recorded on the lid), showing a village scene with a carriage driving along a track in front of a large building on which is printed the inscription "BELLE VUE TAVERN / MARINE / TEA GARDEN" on the building itself and on a sign attached to it, the print enclosed by a narrow circular dotted border which is mostly obscured by the frame. The glaze crazed. The pot-lid mounted for display in a close-fitting circular wooden frame painted black.
