This Georgian earthenware creamware plate originates from the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century and measures 25 cm in diameter. The circular dish has a scalloped rim and a glossy cream-coloured glaze, ornamented with black transfer-printed details. The central well displays a fully rigged sailing ship upon rough water, while five delicate floral sprays adorn the wide border. Impressed numbers appear on the reverse side of the pottery. This decorative plate suits a coastal retreat design scheme and provides an appealing display piece for a mantelpiece. It integrates well into traditional or maritime-themed interiors as a cabinet display or wall-mounted accent, adding historical character to a living space or dining room.

FAQs

Herculaneum Pottery was established in Toxteth, Liverpool, in the late eighteenth century. It produced creamware and transfer-printed earthenware tailored for domestic use and export markets, frequently featuring maritime motifs and historical scenes.

These ceramics were crafted from an earthenware clay body covered with a pale lead glaze, known as creamware. Decorative motifs were applied by transferring engraved copper-plate designs using ceramic ink prior to the final firing.

Authentic pieces exhibit characteristics such as subtle glaze crazing, slight irregularities in the transfer application, impressed maker marks or painter numbers on the reverse, and distinct period rim shapes like scalloped edges.

Antique ceramics can be styled using secure plate stands on a mantelpiece or within open bookshelf displays. Alternatively, mounting multiple plates on a dining room or foyer wall creates a curated focal point.

Clean gently using tepid water and mild liquid soap with a soft microfibre cloth. Avoid soaking creamware, using abrasive sponges, or placing historic ceramics in modern dishwashers.
