SPODE STAFFORDSHIRE BLUE & WHITE GREEK  PATTERN PEARLWARE PLATE C.1805-25
Spode blue and white pearlware Greek pattern transferware plate c.1805-25
"A beautiful blue and white Staffordshire pearlware display plate for the dresser or wall. A fine example of Spode's Greek or Etruscan pattern. The quality, definition and detail of the Spode factory transfer printing is a particular feature and as good as any you will see. It looks wonderful on display with other fine antiques and will enhance any best collection of fine English pottery." Antiques Expert Hamilton Bear.
References: For an identical example see Blue and White Transfer Ware 1780-1840 A.W. Coysh  plate 115 page 83. This pattern probably corresponds to the "Etruscan" pattern referred  to by Jewitt in his contemporary account of Staffordshire ceramics. The designs are based on published engravings by Thomas Kirk (1805) of the collection of Greek Roman and Etruscan vases owned by Sir William Hamilton. 
Marks: Impressed number 2 to back. No other marks which is not unusual for examples of this pattern. 
Dimensions: width 250 mm max.
Condition: In brilliant condition. No significant damage or chips or restoration. Typical minor scratching/knife wear to glaze.
