This gorgeous black and purple transferware 9 1/4 inch plate was made in the Thomas Mayer pottery which operated from 1826 to 1835. We love several aspects.
We love the irregularly scalloped rim. The tight scallops appear over the floral areas on the surround. These areas alternate with scenic river views each with a sailboat and classic urn. The scallops stretch on these areas to emphasize the scene. The surround is done in purple transfer.
We love the bi-color design.The scene in the center done in black features a large classic urn in a garden setting.
The design, Canova, is purported to honor an Italian artist by the pattern name who was cremated; hence the urn.
The back is marked with pattern name and pottery. Condition is excellent: no chips, cracks, hairlines, stains, or restorations.
