HISTORICAL STAFFORDSHIRE AMERICAN VIEW CUP PLATE 1844

If you missed the other ones of these we listed, is your third and final chance - last one! is an American View Historical Staffordshire cup plate in light blue transfer. The view featured on this cup plate is from the "Catskill Moss" series and is "Wilkes-Barre" or "Vale of Wyoming," taken from Bartlett's "American Scenery." This cup plate was manufactured by William Ridgway, Son & Company of Hanley, circa 1844. It measures about 4 inches in diameter. This cup plate is in EXCELLENT condition - the glaze is very bright. I see maybe one or two EXTREMELY minor glaze surface scratches which are almost invisible and only detected under careful scrutiny while tilting the plate in the light. T are three very minor in-the-making stilt marks on the front. T is some extremely mild overall crazing. This cup plate is very near mint. T are three labels attached to the underside, one is the "Ludwig Sale," another reads "A47," and the third reads "#7 Catskill Moss." The underside features a blue transfer date lozenge and and some impressed symbols. This cup plate was from the famous Esther Ludwig collection that was auctioned by Freeman's last year.
