Antique English Georgian Blue and White Pierced "Net" Pattern Pottery Serving Dish / Platter

19th century
Description

A large and heavy Early 19th Century Antique English Georgian Blue and White Transferware Serving Dish or Platter printed in a rich medium blue palette in the "Net" pattern. According to Volume I of Coysh & Henrywood's "Dictionary of Blue and White Printed Pottery, 1780 - 1880", this pattern is known to have been used by at least four potters, viz. Herculaneum, Job Ridgway, Spode and possibly Charles Tittensor of Shelton. We believe that this piece, the reverse of which bears the mark, "Ironstone China" on a ribbon within a floral cartouche, was probably potted in Liverpool at the Herculaneum pottery. This after comparing it closely with the marked example recently sold from our inventory which may be inspected at :-https://applecrossantiques.com/products/antique-georgian-b-w-herculaneum-net-pattern-serving-dish-platter?variant=53280332906828 ~

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Transferware pottery was developed in Britain during the eighteenth century, utilising copper plate engravings to transfer intricate printed designs onto earthenware prior to glazing. Blue and white chinoiserie patterns were particularly prevalent throughout the Georgian era, drawing inspiration from imported Chinese porcelain.

These platters were typically constructed from lead-glazed earthenware or pearlware, featuring openwork lattice borders manually cut into the damp clay using metal punches before firing. The cobalt blue decoration was applied via tissue transfer printing before being sealed under a protective glaze.

Period pieces frequently display minor glaze inconsistencies, stilt marks on the underside from kiln placement, and soft blue pooling in recessed areas. The specific weight, fine glaze crazing, and subtle ripple textures on the reverse side also signal historical authenticity.

An antique transferware platter functions effectively displayed on a sideboard top, mounted within a plate gallery wall, or positioned upright on a plate stand inside a glazed cabinet. The cobalt and white contrast integrates smoothly into modern rustic, coastal, or classic English country interiors.

Hand washing in lukewarm water with a non-abrasive liquid detergent is recommended, avoiding prolonged immersion which can introduce moisture into micro-cracks in the glaze. Avoid chemical cleaners or dishwashers, as these can strip glazes and fracture delicate openwork lattice.
