Early Pearlware ABC Alphabet Plate ~ PONY 1870

EARLY CHILDS TRANSFERWARE ABC PLATE

THE PONY

Staffordshire England  ~  c. 1870

This is a 6 1/2 " child's transferware Alphabet plate , circa 1870.  The plate is light weight and beautifully potted with a pearlware glaze.

It is transfer printed in dark brown with hand coloring in light brown and golden yellow.  The transfer shows a pony munching hay inside the barn.

Nicely potted and the transfers were applied with a good deal of attention to detail. Children's early alphabet plates of this quality is quite scarce and highly sought after. The images are delightful, a throwback to a much simpler time. The plate will make a great addition to your collection of children's dishes.

Good condition.
