A handsome and very appealing creamware soup plate, possibly attributable to the Herculaneum Pottery in Liverpool around the beginning of the 19th century. A letter ‘C’, or an incomplete ‘O’, is incised on the bottom of the plate.
The plate features a very attractive uncoloured transfer depicting a large ship at sea. The scalloped rim is decorated with foliate motif transfers.
The plate is in excellent original condition but for one tiny nibble to the rim at the bottom of the plate, which may be a manufacturing hangover. There are some negligible scratches to the glaze and transfer and a degree of kiln debris in the glaze which is entirely typical for this method of manufacture. A very good example.
Diameter: 10”
Date: c. 1800
