Antique 19th C English "Real Stone China" Chinoiserie Plate

Antiques : Ceramics : 19th C : English : Staffordshire : Ironstone

 

Wonderful 19th century Ironstone Plate decorated in the very popular Chinese style. Underglaze black and cobalt blue with overglaze enamels of light green yellow blue-green orange, pink, light blue and gold.

The plate measures about 9" (22.5 cm) in diameter. Excellent condition. No chips, no cracks, no crazing, no repairs. There are some utensil marks.

According to Godden's Mark Book this mark "Real Ironstone China" in a banner with a crown above was "used by many manufacturers from about 1820". The pattern number 189 is painted in red. Based upon information on page 184 of Bergesen's British Ceramics Price Guide, I believe this plate was probably made by Ashworth (late Mason's) c.1880.

This plate has a distinctly greyish cast to the "white" body. Perhaps that detail will allow some of you experts to properly identify the maker. From the local estate of an advanced ceramics collector.
