Description

A striking early 19th-century blue and white meat charger by John & William Ridgway, featuring the evocative “India Temple” pattern. The central scene depicts an imagined Eastern landscape with pagodas, bridges, and tranquil water elements, framed by a richly detailed border of stylised foliage and geometric motifs. This example is printed in a deep cobalt blue on creamy stone china. The reverse bears the maker’s mark within a shield cartouche: India Temple / Stone China / J.W.R., confirming its Ridgway origin. Measuring generously, the charger presents beautifully as a decorative wall piece or as part of a curated table setting. A fine example of English transferware, blending romantic Orientalism with technical precision.
