Shown here is a 20 inch by 16 inch well and tree platter in the "Chinese Marine" series. It was made by Minton (1793-1872) in black, brown and blue. The scene is " A Front View of the Hall of Audience at the Palace of Yuen-Min-Yuen," which was engraved by W. Lowry after the work of the artist William Alexander.
Shown here is a 10.25 inch plate in the "European Scenery" series by Enoch Wood & Sons (1818-1846). Although most of the central patterns haven't been identified, this one is of Landeck in the Tyrol. The pattern must have been very popular as it is printed in many colors, and over 21 different central patterns have been found. The series was printed in many colors.
Seen here is a 10 inch plate by an unknown maker that depicts the allegorical figure of Hope. She is traditionally shown with an anchor and a ship in the distance, perhaps to allude to the hope that the sailor will return from the sea. The border is printed with six birds. The pattern is printed in black and enameled over the glaze in bright colors.
Shown on an earthenware dinner plate with gadrooned edge, it is marked with both an impressed and a printed SPODE mark. The pattern is printed underglaze in blue and shades of warm brown. It is Spode's pattern B118 which was introduced in 1825. The Jasmine flower itself, for which the pattern gets its name, is actually found in the border.
Shown is an 11 inch by 9.25 inch reticulated tray from the Napoleon's Battles series by Charles James Mason & Co. (1826-1845). The name of this scene, Siege of Toulon, is printed near the bottom left of the center. The series is also found printed in blue, green, brown and pink with many Napoleonic scenes.
