Teal Green transferware Plate

OFFERING ONE OF THE LARGEST TRANSFERWARE COLLECTIONS ON THE WEB!

For consideration is this stunning antique transferware plate dating between 1851-66 as is indicated by the makers mark on the back. The outer border of 10 sides is comprised of floral sprays and scrolls. The face of the plate depicts a handled urn placed on a pedestal amongst a large display of flowers with a dragonfly flying above. It is an absolutely beautiful piece and color combination!


Livesey, Powell & Co began in Hanley, Staffordshire at the Old Hall Lane and went under this name from 1851 - 1866. They produced a wide range of earthenware, ironstone and china and were one of the earliest manufacturers of the ever popular Asiatic Pheasants pattern (still produced today). One of the founders, Livesay, retired in 1866 and the L. P. & Co was succeeded by Powell & Bishop. In 1878 they were joined by John Stonier, a glass and ceramics merchant in Liverpool and thus became Powell, Bishop & Stonier. Over one million unique items were exported into New York by P. B. & S. in 1851 alone! The company became Bishop and Stonier in 1891 and continued production until 1939.


Measures 10 1/2"

Condition: No chips or cracks with exception to a spot of missing glaze on the back. There is roughness to the rim and some wear with fine, all over crazing. There is one small pit mark on the face of the plate which can be barely seen on the left side, in the white area, if you look for it in the pictures. This is very common in antique earthenware pieces.
