Vintage "Michigan Avenue" Blue Transferware Small Plate by Johnson Brothers
About the Item
Presented is a blue-glazed transferware plate, by the famous British potters Johnson Brothers. Made in England, this plate comes from their “Historic America” line of ceramics, with the specific pattern celebrating the iconic Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. The scene depicts townhouses, a church spire, and historic 19th century buildings on either side of a bustling street, filled with horses and carriages. The plate is designed after an 1872 engraving in William Cullen Bryant’s travelog Picturesque America. The rim of the plate is further decorated with an acorn and leaf border.
British Staffordshire potteries such as Wedgwood and Johnson Brothers capitalized upon the surge of popularity of American history after the Centennial of 1876 and again during the interwar period. Johnson Brothers’ serial pattern “Historic America,” introduced in 1938-39, celebrated early American history with idyllic and patriotic 19th-century themes. Scenes were modeled closely after iconic engravings by 19th century publishers, such as Currier and Ives, and subjects were chosen for how they reinforced Americans’ sense of national identity and pride.
