SUPERB AESTHETIC TRANSFERWARE PLATTER

TONQUIN PATTERN

Edgem Malkin and Co Potteries

Burslem, Staffordshire England

c. 1883

This superb Victorian aesthetic 14 3/8 " long x 11 1/2 " wide platter is transfer printed in dark green with a pearlware glaze.

The clear and crisp TONQUIN pattern features a sunset over the water and an arching bamboo like plant embracing the scene as a large cluster of shore birds fly overhead. Geometric, flower and bird filled cartouches complete this excellent pattern, an ornithological wonder.

Condition is great.
