By Neale & Co.
Located in Downingtown, PA
The Neale & Co. puce-colored shell-edge plates are each decorated in a purple transfer with figures in the foreground amongst a landscape of Classic ruins. The rims, also with a feathered puce (purple) border, are highlighted with unusually strong remnants of the original gilding. Each is impressed with the Neale & Co. mark on the reverse.
Marks: The impressed Neale & Co. mark was only used between 1778 and 1795.
