EARLY CHILDS RED TRANSFERWARE PLATE

ABC HORSE AND RIDER

Staffordshire England

c. 1850

This wonderful ABC plate is 6 7/8 inches in diameter and transfer printed in cherry red with a pearlware glaze.

The entire alphabet in a fabulous type goes around the perimeter of the plate. The paneled aesthetic subject is of a central diamond cartouche with a horse and rider going over a fence jump. Four other scenes are of the rider riding until he is thrown off the horse, right over the head.

Condition is EXCELLENT. Clean and bright.
