Clews American Historical Blue Transferware Soup Plate, Hudson River
Here is a gorgeous American historical Staffordshire flat rimmed soup plate. It measures a large 10 inches wide and is in good condition, free of chips. It has a colorless hairline on the surround which we show in a close-up. It also has a bit of rubbing on the inner ridge of the surround which we have also shown in close-up. Glaze is very shiny.
The scene is one of the pottery's Picturesque Views series and dates to 1813 - 1834. It depicts North Fishkill on the Hudson River.
What a carefully potted plate it is! The scene is very sharp and carefully applied to the plate. Linear perspective is an important element of the scene. The viewer sees the scene as if standing on the road. To the right, a cabin appears on a bluff. As the road ahead curves to the right out of sight, two figures appear on the banks of the river. Sunlight directs the eye from that point, to a point on the opposite bank. Mountains appear behind. The surround has the distinctive parrot and flower border of the series.

Large , Early, & Rare Staffordshire Blue Transferware Fruit Bowl, Classic Pattern
This rare and lovely Staffordshire blue transfer fruit bowl measures 13 inches long by 5 inches tall. The pattern on the interior and exterior is that of moss-like foliates. In the center of the well is the image of a classic vase.

One seldom finds an item as scarce as this in such excellent condition. It has one tiny flake on the underside of one handle, small and insignificant. See the picture.

Here is a large blue willow transferware platter. It dates to the mid 1800's. It is in great condition, free of chips and cracks and measuring 16 by 12 1/4 inches.
The willow pattern was first produced in the late 1700's and has been produced ever since. This one, however, is not a reproduction but a genuine antique.
