EARLY CHILDS TRANSFERWARE ABC PLATE
THE PONY
Staffordshire England ~ c. 1870
This is a 6 1/2 " child's transferware Alphabet plate , circa 1870. The plate is light weight and beautifully potted with a pearlware glaze.
It is transfer printed in dark brown with hand coloring in light brown and golden yellow. The transfer shows a pony munching hay inside the barn.
Nicely potted and the transfers were applied with a good deal of attention to detail. Children's early alphabet plates of this quality is quite scarce and highly sought after. The images are delightful, a throwback to a much simpler time. The plate will make a great addition to your collection of children's dishes.
Good condition.
