Recent re-examination of a closed group of finds from a watching brief carried out in 1984 on the site of 12–14 Mitre Street in the City of London has brought to light a near-complete, though fragmented, delftware plate, probably of Lambeth manufacture, decorated with an inscription in Hebrew characters. This identifies it as part of a set required by the observance of Jewish dietary laws. Datable on stylistic grounds to the 1720s, the plate forms part of a large assemblage of domestic pottery and other artefacts deposited during the 1740s, probably as part of a household clearance by a middle class Jewish household.
