Neale & Co. Creamware Set of Ten Plates, Puce Feather Edge, Classical Ruins Circa 1780–1785 Each plate is circular with a shaped rim molded with a feather edge, the molded barbs picked out in puce enamel in short radiating strokes and the edge itself gilded, with unusually strong remnants of the original gilding surviving. The well is transfer-printed in puce with a classical capriccio: a ruined arch on Corinthian columns, overgrown with foliage and carrying a broken entablature, stands before a crenellated wall pierced with arched openings, with a colonnade and a second arch beyond and a distant church spire below a hill. The foreground is strewn with fallen column drums, capitals and blocks of masonry, among which two small figures rest at the right. The reverse of each plate is impressed Neale & Co. and carries an old collector's paper label inscribed in ink Neale & Co. 1778–1788, Chaffers page 704; two plates also retain the blue and silver foil retailer's label of Shreve, Crump & Low Co., Boston. Dimensions: Diameter: 8 3/4 inches (22.2 cm) Height: 1 inch (2.5 cm) Marks: Impressed Neale & Co. on the reverse of each plate, a mark used between 1778 and 1795. Provenance: Shreve, Crump & Low Co., Boston (retailer's label) Earle D. Vandekar of Knightsbridge Condition: Good antique condition. The gilding to the rims is rubbed, as is usual on creamware of this age, but strong remnants remain.
