BLUE TRANSFERWARE KNIFE RESTS FLORAL 1825 This pair of nearly 4" long by 1-1/4" wide pearlware knife rests was probably made in Staffordshire around 1825. They are printed with a lovely rose and fruit pattern which is most likely a border pattern. Condition is as follows. One has a repair to a small nick at one corner. The other has a filled-in grayish repair to one end. Appearance is still good. Take a look at all of the photos for the details. Knife Rests are fairly uncommon, and it is nice to have a pair.
 

PURPLE TRANSFER PAIR OF KNIFE REST C 1835 Here is a pair of Romantic Staffordshire pearlware knife rest printed in purple. Purple is a rare color for knife rests. The rests are 3-3/4" by 1". One of the rests is damaged which a large chip off of one end. The other is in excellent condition. They were probably made in Staffordshire around 1835.
 

PEARLWARE MEIR KNIFE REST HEART ENDS 1830 A delightful and rare dark blue pearlware 3-3/4" knife rest with heart shaped ends made by John Meir (1812-1836) in Staffordshire around 1830. The pattern is one of overall small circles on a molded form that has a heart on each end. The bottom of the knife rest has the impressed mark--Meir. There are two small nicks on the edge of the rest and a chip on the bottom which is not visible unless you turn it over. Appearance is excellent. I have two of these rests. If you collect knife rests, unusual pearlware or blue and white items, this is the one for you!
