Victorian Style Set 4 English Plates Transferware Decorations Royal Arms Mark

About the Item

We kindly suggest you read the whole description, as with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our items. Refined and elegant English decorative ceramic plates; the set consists of two 27 cm.27 diameter plates and two 22 cm.22 plates; perfect for hanging on the wall. The plates were decorated using the "transferware" method, this type of work refers to glazed and decorated pottery with a specific treatment that they produced in Staffordshire England; they used copper plates on which the design was engraved, the plate was then inked and the design transferred to a special fabric that was later placed on the pottery (plates, trays, soup tureens etc.) which was glazed and fired; the first to use this printing process were John Sadler and Guy Verde of Liverpool in 1756. If we look at ceramics made by this method we will notice that the designs are not perfect and often the ink is smudged; this is their characteristic. A hand-painted plate service could afford to a few English families, with this method even middle-class families could have a decorated plate service. Our plates, after transferware processing (which was only blue) were hand-finished with soft, refined colors and then fired again in the kiln to fix the coloring; these additional steps made them even more precious and unique. They were produced between 1837 and 1840 in an artisan workshop in Staffordshire; we cannot trace the name of the company because the artisans used "Royal Arms" as their trademark without including their company name, which was often the case when workshops were small and had few employees. However, the workshop's production had to be of a high standard, in fact, the "Royal Arms" mark (the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom, which includes the English lion and Scottish unicorn supporting the shield with the royal crown) could only be used legitimately by companies holding a Royal Warrant. Precise regulation for the use of this prestigious royal mark was secured by Queen Victoria in 1837; during her 64-year reign, the queen and her family were responsible for granting more royal warrants than ever before-more than 2,000. Analyzing the graphics of our mark we can date it between 1837 and 1840. The plates are in good condition, only one of the small ones has an original craquelé effect. Measurements large plates diameter cm.27 height cm.3 each, small plates diameter cm.22, height cm.2 each. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (custom-made wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the items.

Staffordshire Potteries English Tray with Blue Transferware Decorations

By Clementson Brothers

Located in Prato, Tuscany

We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Lovely and refined English oval ceramic tray; elegant and rich blue decorations have been executed on the white background using the transferware method; the mark on the back tells us exactly that the object was produced by the Clementson Brothers LTD Company between 1901 and 1913 at the Phoenix factory in Shelton, the company made a wide range of objects with this decoration called "Delf" ( see mark no.909 p.150 of "Encyclopaedia of British Pottery and Porcelain Mark"). Transferware, which was very fashionable in the Victorian period, refers to glazed and decorated pottery with a specific treatment that they produced in Staffordshire, England; they used copper plates on which the design was engraved, the plate was then inked and the design transferred to a special fabric that was later placed on the pottery (plates, trays, tureens, etc.) which was glazed and fired; the first to use this printing process were John Sadler and Guy Green of Liverpool in 1756. If we look at the pottery made by this method we will notice that the designs are not perfect and often the ink is smudged: this is their characteristic. A hand-painted plate service could afford few English families, with this method even middle-class families could have a decorated plate service. The Clementson Firm was founded in 1839 by Joseph Clementson, who retired from the business in 1867, leaving the factory to his four sons and son...

Copeland-Spode English Tray With Blue Transferware Decorations

By Copeland Spode

Located in Prato, Tuscany

We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Elegant and refined English octagonal ceramic tray; on the white background, soft and rich blue decorations have been executed using the transferware method; in the center we find the poetic and graceful representation of the Severn River and the town of Bridgnorth (the name of this decoration is "Severn"), while the edges of the tray are adorned with sumptuous and spectacular flower and leaf decorations. The Severn River is the longest river in the United Kingdom (350 km), rising in Wales and flowing into the Bristol Channel; Bridgnorth is an ancient Saxon settlement; observing the view of the river and town from his castle at Bridgnorth King Charles I Stuart (1600-1649) said "the most beautiful sight in all my kingdom". On the back of the tray there are 3 imprinted marks including one with final number 14, then we find in the center a blue mark, these indicate to us exactly that the tray was produced in Stoke-on-Trent by the Copeland-Spode company in 1914 (see mark no.1079 p.172 of "Encyclopaedia of British Pottery and Porcelain Mark). The Spode firm was founded in the heart of the Potteries - Stoke-on-Trent by Josiah Spode in 1770. Josiah Spode is most famous for developing the specific design technique that meant underglaze transfers could be printed on earthenware. Later, focusing on porcelain production, Josiah Spode pioneered the development of a new form of porcelain, originally called "Stoke China...
