Ridgway Porcelain Dessert Plate c.1835

We have for sale a charming mid 19th Century John and William Ridgway period display plate dating somewhere between 1830 and 1840. This very attractive circular display plate consists of an ornate primrose yellow and gilt pierced and moulded rococo border incorporating an attractive leaf motif on a mint green ground around a further inner primrose yellow and gilt border around a central rural landscape depicting what looks like a stream crossing in a field with a tree and a sunrise or sunset in the background. The back of the plate carries the pattern number 161 in iron red. The plate is 9 inches (22.5cm) in diameter and is in an excellent condition with no chips, cracks or repairs and almost no wear to the gilt or decoration. The plate has obviously spent life as a well cared for display piece.
