Antique Creamware Plate Poor Jack the Sailor's Lament Made by Herculaneum C-1820
About the Item
This antique creamware plate was made in Liverpool, England, by Herculaneum Pottery, circa 1820.
At the center, a transfer-printed scene titled Poor Jack shows a sailor bidding farewell to a young woman, with a fully-rigged ship in the background and a coastal town beyond.
The imagery, drawn from popular early 19th-century ballads and prints, evokes the bittersweet sentiment of parting and the perils of maritime life.
The black transfer print is finely detailed, clearly capturing the figures’ clothing and the ship's rigging.
Around the border, a garland of delicate floral sprays adds a decorative frame to the emotionally charged scene.
Plates like this served as sentimental tokens.
This plate, printed on creamware with restrained floral decoration, reflects both the emotional resonance and elegance of early 19th-century English pottery.
