A Creamware polychrome decorated child's plate C 1820. Set to the center is a charming green transfer of a parlor scene with an adult and children. Dressed in 18th Century costume the boy is holding a walking stick and placing a hat on the head of a little girl obviously younger. Around the edges of the plate are raised flowers painted in reds and blues with green leaf decoration. The plate is 5" and the condition is excellent.
These plates were made to be given as gifts to children and they were often decorated by children. They were an upmarket item, sold at upscale shops and at fairs around the country. They were used as teaching aids, or simply decorated to amuse. Very desirable and collectable today. |
