Cranberry Transferware Plate, GRECIAN SCENERY, C. 1820
Presented is a lovely 9 inch plate with vivid and unique coloring. We have listed this in the purple transferware category for lack of a better term. The color is actually half way between purple and red. It is cranberry against stark white - gorgeous and rarely found.
The pattern is Grecian Scenery. It is well-known to collectors of early transfer designs; however, the potter has yet to be identified. It bears a cartouch with pattern name and the term, "Stone China," which was found on many early designs. The rim is irregularly scalloped.
The design features three figures beside classic ruins. A gondola-like boat appears in the river behind them. The surround has scenic and floral areas. A band of cranberry lines the edge.
It is in great condition, free of chips, cracks, hairlines, stains, and restorations. Glaze is quite shiny. Upon close inspection, one can find a star line in the glaze which doesn't go through. We needed magnification to find it.
