About the Item

This English creamware plate, made circa 1805, features a striking central image of a fully rigged sailing ship, transfer-printed in black. The maritime scene shows a large English ship under full sail on stylized seas, framed below by scrolling ornament with a central flowerhead. A smaller vessel appears in the background, adding perspective and narrative interest. The ship's rigging, flags, and hull are captured in crisp detail, highlighting the precision of early 19th-century transfer printing. The wide rim is left plain except for a narrow black border, which elegantly frames the design. Made of creamware—a fine, pale earthenware developed for strength and delicacy. This plate reflects late 18th and early 19th-century England's fascination with naval themes and patriotic imagery.
