Old dish with strange images -

[pandowdydoll]

Trying to learn anything I can about this bowl.  Has no markings at all on the bottom

is there a pattern name on the back?  that sometimes gives a clue as to the scene of the transfer.  I see a ca 1860 steamship in the middle.  the cartouches seem to be two classical (mythological) dolphins.  can't make out the other cartouche.  probably english, later half of the 19th centiury.

I interpret the other cartouche as sea nymphs or mermaids and hippocampus (mythological seahorses of which I am unsure of the plural form).

there is no marking whatsoever on the back - thank you for taking a look.  The images look like some kind of savages around a fire -

[pandowdydoll]

thank you - how old to you think this is?

[md1919]

as noted, second half of the 19th century.  may sound old but there are still tons of 19th century transferware out there.  it is the scene that is important but I have not seen this one before.

Mermaids on sea horses and Roman dolphins.  Not that weird.  Looks like something a Boston or Baltimore shipping magnate would have in the early 1800s.
