Condition: The plate shows age. It has some discoloration or staining. You can see in the picture of the bottom of the plate there is a slightly off center hairline crack that is about and inch.there is a small chip near the E at the edge. There is some irregularity to the glazing around the edge. Along the alphbet at the Q and the R there is some flaw at the surface that I think is from manufacture. At the bottom or back there is some color misplaced (some green and a little blue.There is fine crazing. So many little flaws and yet still charming!

Description

This is a very charming, very flawed child's plate with raised ABC's (letters) running in a circle around the edge. The center of the plate has a polychrome decoration. The transfer on the old ironstone is a farm scene with a man on an odd horse, a dog, people in a canoe or little boat, a chile, a man with a can or stick and women working with baskets possibly doing laundry by a small pier or landing, trees, and a house with a chimney with smoke coming from it. The colors are brown, a vibrant green, blue and a mauve (pinkish red). The plate is 7 3/8 diameter. The back has no makers mark. The coloration is consistent with Charles Allerton & Sons or C.A. & Sons iron stone ware. But it is so much like the Staffordshire alphabet plates that I cannot say for sure which it is. Feel free to ask questions. Thank you for looking and have a nice day!
