Manufacturer: Staffordshire
Presented is a large indented and embossed blue transferware platter made in the Turner pottery. It measures 17 inches by 14.5 inches and dates to the early years of the Nineteenth Century.
Made of pearlware with a blue glaze where it pools, it is well printed in a medium to dark cobalt blue. The pattern is known as The Villager. Three of the Turner potteries could have made this design. The earliest pottings had the embossing around the rim, so this one is quite old, 1800 to 1803.
The central scene features a couple with their baby and their dog. They appear to be out for a walk. Behind is a rural home, river, and arched bridge. The surround has both floral decoration and embossed arches.
Condition is excellent. The glaze has remained shiny with absolutely no wear, just a normal mild crazing. The only flaw occurred prior to the original firing. There are a few nibbles on the back edge in one spot that were glaze over. These affect neither the integrity nor the beauty of the platter.
Our romantic Staffordshire blue and white china dates to the Nineteenth Century. We guarantee our antique transferware, ironstone, soft paste china, and creamware to be authentic antiques, accurately described.
