Brand AJ Wilkinson

  • RARE RURAL SCENES SALAD PLATE 

EXTREMELY RARE SILVER OVERLAY!

 

For consideration is this piece by A J Wilkinson / Royal Staffordshire in the Rural Scenes pattern.

 

It is one of the prettiest patterns ever produced on transferware.

 

The scene depicts a hunter on his horse leaving his cottage which can be seen behind him.  The brown transfer is hand painted in shades of green and burgundy, all under glaze so it is permanent. There is a silver overlay design around the inner rim/wall of the piece and around the scene itself. The glaze has a greenish hue. These are VERY RARE and hard to find! They are a wonderful, wonderful addition to any transferware collector, but especially to those of you who collect this pattern. I seldom come across the pieces with the silver overlay. 

 

Measures: 8"

Condition is wonderful. No chips, cracks or repairs. There may be some minor crazing present, as is associated with age.
