A pottery soup plate transfer printed in blue with Kincardine Castle form the Crown Acorn and Oak Leaf Border Series. The transferware soup plate has printed a title. The series is attributed to John Meir of Tunstall, Staffordshire. The plate will date to the late 1820s, towards the end of the Georgian period.
The plate is 9.7 inches (24.7cm) wide and weighs 470g.
The plate is in good condition – a half inch flake on the rim at 12 o'clock has been restored, there is no other damage. There fashion are a few minor utensil marks in the well from normal use and an area of kiln dirt to the reverse of the plate.
Please consider these items are generally 50-200 years old, antique or vintage, and were made to differing manufacturing and quality standards to modern items. They have also been used and may show signs of that. Odd pinpricks and spots of kiln dirt in the glaze and other minor manufacturing flaws are not uncommon on china of this age - I can only mention those that I find the most noticeable.
Please contact me if you need more detail on condition or further images. I will be happy to oblige.
