AESTHETIC BLACK TRANSFERWARE PLATE
THE RIGHT HONORABLE GLADSTONE M. P.
Wallis Gimson and Co. Potteries
Staffordshire England ~ 1884
This large Victorian 8 sided aesthetic 9 3/4 " plate is transfer printed in black against a white background.
Gladstone retired as leader of the Liberal Party, but remained an intimidating opponent, attacking the government fiercely over their weak response to Turkish brutality in the Balkans, known as the Eastern Crisis. In 1880 he became Prime Minister for a second time, much against Queen Victoria's will.
Never Used and in great condition.
