| An attractive Temperance Movement ‘child’s’ plate with florally moulded rim and a central brown transfer print based on those of George Cruikshank, finished in a blue tinted pearlware glaze. The plate, entitled “The Bottle; Scene Fourth” (4th in a series of 8), portrays street beggars outside an inn, with the wording “Poverty Drives them into the Streets to Beg; By this Means they Still Supply the Bottle”. Unmarked, but possibly manufactured at the Middlesborough Pottery, 1850’s. (X-ref: Noel Riley “Gifts for Good Children 1790-1890”, plate 1058 and text). It measures approx. 7½” (192mm) diameter and there is the tiniest hairline at ~4 o’clock, is in fine condition. | ||
