Brand Leighton Ware

This is a very hard to find, vintage Leighton Ware plate made exclusively for Pitt Petri of New York is a wonderful example of European wares made specifically for the American market. In black transferware and entitled "Setting Out", the plate depicts an early English fox hunt with riders on horseback and hounds running beside them. 

The black transfer is hand painted with shades of brown, red, green and gold

The plate has a beautiful embossed border

Pitt Petri were importers for nearly 80 years and is associated with the glory-days of high-end retail on Buffalo’s Delaware Avenue.  Pitt Petri first opened on Allen Street in 1924.  One year later the store moved to 569 Delaware before settling into 378 Delaware in 1927.  Pitt Petri was known for high-quality decorative and art goods, retailing home products such as silverware, crystal, china and other goods.  The company closed its doors early in 2012, around the time that the building was renamed the Huyler Building and placed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
