Staffordshire Pink Transferware 8 1/2 Inch Plate, GIPSY
The pink transfer plate presented here measures 8 1/2 inches wide. The pattern is entitled Gipsy, a misspelling of Gypsy.
We love this design which features a peasant family at a campfire under a craggy tree. they appear to be camping beside their covered wagon at the outskirts of a city. The scene has a rectangular frame of florets with scrolling around, and pebble and vine patterning on the surround.
It is marked with a cartouch giving pattern name. Condition is excellent - no chips, cracks, hairlines, stains, or restoration. Glaze is very shiny. |

Fabulous Purple Transferware Staffordshire Platter, PENNSYLVANIA, c. 1826 - 46
We love this platter because of the intricate design. It measures15 by 12 1/2 inches. Condition is excellent.
The detailed romantic pattern features elements including a triple arched bridge, figures in a gondola-type craft, stylized building, distant mountains. The surround is irregularly lobed with areas of diapering and floral elements. Glaze is very shiny with no utensil marking.
Some call this color mulberry; however, we save that name for designs that have flow. This does not. Its tones range from light to dark purple.

White Ironstone Toy Teaset for Six with Cabinet
Here is a fun item for lovers of white ironstone. It is a complete teaset for six including six cups and saucers, six plates, a teapot, sugarbowl, creamer, and waste bowl. It is an unmarked set with signs of early potting. We would date it to the 1880s.
Condition is remarkably good. It comes with a charming curved glass storage cabinet to keep little hands from playing with it unsupervised. More detail follows.
The six plates measure 5 1/2 inches wide - no flaws on them.
The six cups are 2 1/3 inches tall by 3 1/2 wide - no flaws.
The saucers are 5 inches wide. All are flawless except one which has a small flake on the back.
The creamer is 3 3/4 inches tall - no flaws.
The sugarbowl is 4 3/4 inches tall. The base is free of flaws. The lid has a tiny ding and a flake on the edge.
The teapot is 5 inches tall by 6 inches wide. It has two small flakes to the top and a tiny ding to the underside of the lid.

It is hard for me to enter information about shipping given the inclusion of the cabinet. When a customer purchases this set, I will pack it up safely and explore the most cost-efficient way to mail it. That will probably be FedEx Home Delivery or FedEx Ground. We will make those decisions to guarantee safe shipment at the best price. |

Lg. Staffordshire Brown Transferware Platter, SYDENHAM, c. 1838-64
This gorgeous Staffordshire brown transfer platter measures 17 1/2 by 14 inches - large enough to make quite an impression. The title of the scene is Sydenham, made in the Joseph Clementson pottery which operated from 1838 until 1864. We know this from reference sources for the scene. The maker's mark, however, is not present. It does bear the mark of the importer/retailer, Davenport Brothers of New York.
The design's subject matter is classical. Each scene of the Sydenham series shows a different statue of a mother and child interacting. A classical vase is in the foreground of each scene. In this one, the mother holds her child, who is at rest.
The surround has four framed vignettes of the two embracing with a different classical vase in the foreground. They are separated by geometric patterning and framed classical vase vignettes. It's a finely designed and well made piece of antique Staffordshire.
Condition is excellent - no chips, cracks, hairlines, stains, or restoration |

Staffordshire Porcelain White with Lustre Cup & Saucer
Here we have a nineteenth century white porcelain cup and saucer with a band of lustre at the top of the cup and edge of the saucer. There is an embossed design that I will describe as gothic or cathedral-like on both. There are unmarked 19th century matched pieces.
The cup is 3 inches tall by 4 inches wide. The saucer is 5 1/2 inches wide. I purcased several of these items, this being the last. For some reason, I have an extra saucer, so it is included here. |

The measurement of the underside is critical if you are looking to see if it would fit your teapot. It would fit into an opening that is 2 2/3 inches wide.

Early Staffordshire Gothic White Ironstone Sauceboat, Hairline
The gothic shaped white ironstone sauceboat presented measures 8 1/2 inches long by 6 inches tall. It is rather creamy in color rather than bluish. It bears in imprinted backstamp that can't be read. By the imprint's shape, we think it may be the Davenport pottery.
This classic beauty dates to the 1840s when clean octagonal shapes were the vogue. It has a 1 inch stress hairline on the side. I will try to photograph it by natural light to show it. That is the only flaw.
In my home, items like this are the workhorses of my table. I love to spread it with antiques, but when I sit down with the others, I want to enjoy the people without thinking about whether the children should pass the gravy. Problem solved.
Given the flaw, I have priced it accordingly. |

Edwards Cameo Gothic White Ironstone Sauce Tureen and Underplate
Presented is an impressive piece of white ironstone, a sauce tureen and underplate in the Cameo Gothic shape. It dates to 1847.
All three pieces are in great shape, free of cracks, hairlines. The base has three tiny nibble to the edge, mentioned for accuracy. One must look hard to find them. The underside of the undertray has a little chip to the foot ring, see only if upended.
I am not sure that the lid is original to the piece. At is not marked. However, it does fit and comes from the same period, 1840s, perhaps by a different potter.
The tureen measures 7 1/2 by 7 1/2 inches. The undertray is 8 1/2 inches wide. Both the tureen base and underplate bear the John Edwards pottery backstamp.
Embossing is very sharp. Note the interesting cameo face under the handle. |

Bell White Ironstone Sauce Tureen, LILY SHAPE
This white ironstone Staffordshire sauce tureen is done in a floral design by J. & M.P. Bell. It was made in the 1860s.
Technically, this piece was not made in the Staffordshire area of England. It was made in Glascow, Scotland. The term Staffordshire is not used to denote a place; instead, it refers to a type of pottery.
The floral design of this piece features stems of foliates and flowers in four areas both on the lid and base.
This tureen has a large chip on the base. Turned properly, this flaw would not show. Given the chip. the price is low. |

Hicks & Meigh Purple Transferware Staffordshire Plate, No. 21
The large purple transferware plate presented measures 10 1/2 inches in diameter. It bears the backstamp of the Hicks & Meigh pottery which operated from 1806 - 22. It is in fine condition, free of chips, cracks, and stains. I find two little bumps in the glaze on the surface.
The Oriental pattern of oversized flowers has been embellished with cobalt enamel accents. Note the pretty irregularly scalloped rim.
Wares from the Hicks & Meigh pottery have special characteristics among Staffordshire wares of the period. The earthenware body is particularly dense, making the plate heavy and well-made. Early in my interest in transferware I though that these plates must be reproductions because they were different from most. I was wrong. |

Early Dk. Blue Staffordshire Transferware Sugarbowl, Vase Pattern
We present here an early, unmarked dark blue Staffordshire sugar bowl measuring 9 inches wide by 4 1/2 inches tall. Sorry to say, we don't have the lid. This is an early one, probably about 1815. The flower and vase pattern decorates both sides with scroll and stippling at the top.
It is in good antique condition with many scuffs, minor chipping as can be viewed on the pictures, particularly the lid ledge, but no cracks or major chips. Usually these early ones are riddled with damage. We love the precision of these early transfers. |
