1870's Pinder & Bourne Plate on Stand W/ Children & Animals

Pottery : Antique

 

This is such a great plate by Pinder & Bourne Co. This company was later bought by Royal Doulton. The plate is probably a cookie plate as it is on a stand. The sides of plate are in a decoration of basket weave. There is a little boy and girl with a large dog and chickens. It has an impressed mark on the bottom of Pinder & Bourne Co. 804 and looks like a number 6 in blue ink. The plate has crazing all over and there is a very old repair that you can only notice because there is some residue on the crack. It is a line under the dog. Then the blue paint on that part under the dog on the rim looks a little more shiny and on the underside you can see where they had the repair done as there is not much crazing there. I do not know what the damage looked like before but this is a very old repair and really does not distract from this at all. I just wonder how much this was loved to actually get it repaired. Somebody loved it quite a bit. The plate measures 9 1/4 inches in diameter and measures 1 1/2 inches high.
