* "Lorne" Pattern Details: The "Lorne" pattern features a clover leaf design and a scalloped rim. The specific backstamp shown in the image, featuring the globe and steamboat trademark, dates the production of this item to between 1891 and 1914.
* Flow Blue Style: "Flow blue" is a style of pottery that originated in the 1820s among Staffordshire potters.

Grindley was a prominent manufacturer that helped popularize this style, making attractive transferware more widely available and affordable.
