A SUPERB COALPORT PLATE
MADE IN ABOUT 1850 8 1/2" DIAMETER
IN GODDENS BOOK ON COALPORT AND COALBROOKDALE PORCELAINS ,PLATE 149
IS A PICTURE OF PART OF A DESERT SET WITH THE SAME CIRCULAR PIERCINGS AS THIS PLATE .
I
HAVE LOOKED THROUGH MANY OTHER BOOKS
AND
COULD FIND NO OTHERS WITH THIS TYPE OF PIERCING,
ALSO THE BODY HAS MANY KILN SPITS TYPICAL OF COALPORT AS IS THE FOOT RIM.
THE PLATE WAS IN THE SAME FAMILY HOME, A FEW MILES FROM COALPORT,
FOR GENERATIONS.
IT WAS
PROBABLY ONCE A
AS IT HAS NO MARKINGS OTHER THAN THE HANDWRITTEN DESCRIPTION IN THE GLAZE, IT COULD BE FROM ANOTHER VERY HIGH QUALITY MAKER
A BEAUTIFUL RARE PIECE , WONDERFUL TO ADD TO A COLLECTION ..
NO
CHIPS CRACKS OR RESTORATION. A little rubbing and crazing to glaze
