1840s STAFFORDSHIRE Child's Plate/BOY w TOY Boat on Pond--Transferware Embossed

Description

Staffordshire child’s plate (just over 5 ½” in diameter) with a transfer design in gray, early to mid 19
th
century. No maker identified. The little plate has an embossed edge featuring perhaps berries and leaves. The transfer design has a boy or young man sailing a toy boat on a pond as a young woman watches. They’re under a tree, and there’s a large house or castle visible in the distance. This may have been intended as a reward of merit or gift for a child. The plate is in good or better condition with no chips, cracks, or significant flaws. There is some light crazing throughout. Very nice early Victorian child’s plate! Free first class shipping!
