The 9 Inch diameter plate presented is done in brown transfer with a white border on the highly scalloped edge. Raised beading also frames the scene.
The American historical view shows Bakers Falls on the Hudson River. The river scene shows roiling waters. I couple stands on a large flat rock overlooking the river. The surround has the parrot border design for which the series is noted.
This is one of many scenes in the Picturesque Views series of the James and Ralph Clews pottery, which operated from 1815 to 1834.
The transfer is skillfully done in dark brown against white. Condition is fair. It has a hairline that runs from the edge in toward the well and an associated chip on the foot ring. Because of the busy transfer, it looks good and make a fine display. Price reflects the condition. |
