Circa: 1821-25
Condition: Good antique condition
Manufacturer: James and Ralph Clews
Here is a large American historical brown transferware plate measuring 10 1/2 inches wide. The plate was made in the James and Ralph Clews pottery, printing dates 1821 - 25. It bears an imprinted circular mark as well as the transferware backstamp of the pattern title.
The scene is one of many in the Picturesque Views series. This one depicts the Hudson River Near Fishkill. This scene was taken from an engraving by artist William Guy Wall, "View from Fishkill."
Linear perspective is an important aspect of the scene. The viewer sees the scene as if standing on the road looking toward the curve ahead where two figures stand on the banks of the Hudson. The plate bears the parrot border that is well-known for this series. The rim is both bordered and dimensionally beaded - beautiful!
It is in very good antique condition, with one shallow chip on the back of the edge as pictured and no cracks, hairlines, stains, other chips or restoration. Also on the back side near the foot ring, one can find some underglaze frit, a product of the early potting and not damage.
