Description

This ENGLISH BLUE & WHITE TRANSFER PRINTED PLATTER commemorates THE GREAT EXHIBITION of 1851. It shows a view of THE CRYSTAL PALACE set within a border of swags and panels representing the Arts and Sciences.

The back bears the Maker's Mark for PINDER, BOURNE & HOPE, Fountain Place, Nile Street, Burslem (1851-1860) and the Pattern Name - CRYSTAL PALACE. As this Firm was founded in 1851 this may well have been one of their first commissions.

The subsequent owner of this PLATTER thought it of such importance that they wanted to display it on the wall and have very skilfully drilled two small holes in the well for a hanging wire to pass through.

Condition: No cracks or restoration. An old, thin, surface chip to the back rim which is not visible from the front. Minor discolouration in places.

Height: 14 inches (36 cm)

Width: 17.75 inches (45.5 cm)

Express Delivery within Mainland UK is included. We are happy to quote for Ovreseas Shipping on request.
