This early black transfer Staffordshire plate was made in the pottery of Job and John Jackson, c. 1831. The central scene is framed by two concentric bands. The designs close to the well are of flowers in black on a white ground. On the outside, scenes of sailboats on the River Clyde alternate with floral and scroll sections. The center shows several swans on the river in front of a triple-arched bridge. The edge is bordered in white and slightly scalloped.
The plate measures 9 inches wide. It looks great but has two flaws, a slight ding to the white edge, hard to find and shown in close-up, and a hairline in the well visible on the back but very hard to find on the front because of the patterning. There is also a small chip to the foot ring on the back side.
Because the flaws are hard to find, this beautiful plate makes an excellent display. |
