Scope and content

Medium plate 22.5cm diameter. Cockerel on globe with College motto in centre in yellow, brown and red. Decorative floral pattern round edge in brown, blue, yellow, green, pink and red. The plate is in a presentation box and was presented to Professor Barry A. K. Rider.

The College commissioned Wedgwood to design and produce a limited edition of crockery for the exclusive use of the College. This was used on High Table and in Hall for many years, but was withdrawn when the sets became depleted. The few plates that remain are now presented on special occasions to honoured recipients.
