Greetings!
I am trying to identify this pattern which was excavated from a site in South Carolina (see below). We have pieces from 2 sizes of platters, 2 plates, and a cup and saucer. It is a boldly designed blue and white transferware pattern with acanthus leaves on the rim. To the right of center is a tiger being approached by dogs.
The accompanying teacup has a scene of an elephant ridden by 2 people, with what appear to be natives carrying a deer or antelope tied to a pole in the foreground.
It is not the traditional "Tiger Hunt" pattern from Clews or Wood, but something a bit more dramatic in both the scene and the bold geometric border. So far I have looked in Williams, but don't have access to Coysh. No maker's mark is available.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
