Plate
1811-1826 (made)
Artist/Maker | |
Place of origin |
Object Type
Earthenware dinner plates, such as this example of average quality and printed with exotic scenes, were the main products of many new potteries in Staffordshire in the early 19th century.
Collectors
This undistinguished plate might have remained anonymous but for the on-going researches of collectors of blue and white printed pottery. Not only has the print been identified as a combination of two published prints by Thomas Daniell (1749-1840) and his nephew William (1769-1837), both of whom had travelled extensively in India, the recording by collectors of an identical piece marked 'Hamilton Stoke' has enabled it to be attributed to a very obscure maker.
