Lovely slops bowl in a pattern that looks like the Crown Derby witches pattern, aka Imari pattern. Also similar to "gaudy Welsh" although more precisely painted. Some loss of gilding to the rim, otherwise, looks like it was never used! Approx 14cm across and 7.5cm high.

According to thepotteries.org: Shore & Coggins Limited produced china ware in their Edensor Works, New Street and the High Street Works, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, England. The firm dates back to 1887 when it was known as J. Shore & Co. In 1905 a new partnership was formed with Shore, Coggins & Holt, this partnership survived 5 years until 1910 when John William Holt left and Shore & Coggins Limited was formed. In 1918 William Coggins dies and John Shore (the founder) sold the business to Thomas C Wild & Sons. (who were aquiring a number of other pottery businesses).
