PROGRESS OF THE LOAF SET OF FOUR PLATES 1835 Usually found on children’s wares, this pattern is printed in blue on four 9-1/4" plates. The border of the plates is the familiar "Canova" border of the pattern made by Thomas Mayer (c. 1826-1838). The mark on the back is, indeed, "Canova". The mystery is the designation of the two letters on the back of each plate. They appear to be a J and a T. "The Progress of the Quartern Loaf" is from a poem written by Mary Belson Elliot in 1820. The poems and scenes on the plates include The Thrasher, The Reaper, The Miller and The Baker. Eliot's poems include The Ploughman and The Sower. Condition of all four plates is excellent. I only have space for eight photos, so please ask for more photos if you would like more details.

STUBBS FRUIT AND FLOWERS PLATE 1825 Although I have a pair of these plates, I am selling them individually. These nearly 10" plates are beautifully printed in medium to dark blue with the popular pattern known as Fruit and Flowers. Both plates are impressed with the Stubbs' mark on the back. Condition is excellent, with no cracks, chips or repairs. If you like floral patterns, this is the pattern for you! Take a look at the photos for the details. If you buy the pair, I can do better on the price.
 

PAIR ROGERS BOSTON STATE HOUSE CHARGERS 1825 A charger in early blue is rare, but a pair of historical chargers is rarer still! They are each nearly 13" in diameter, and are printed in Rogers Boston State House pattern. Although appearance is excellent, each has had minor restoration to hairlines. One has an in-the-making flaw in the inner rim at 1 o'clock. Take a look at all of the photos for the details. If you are looking for rare historical items, these are the pieces for you! The chargers were made in Staffordshire around 1825. I doubt there are still cows on Boston Common!

ALCOCK EASTERN STREET SCENE PAIR OF PLATTERS Eastern Street Scene is a pattern that originated with the Riley factory. The works were purchased by Samuel Alcock in 1829 who, according to Coysh and Henrywood, possibly inherited the factory's copper plates. This lovely pair of 13" by 10-1/4" platters are beautifully printed in medium blue. Condition is excellent with no chips, cracks or repairs. The platters were probably made around 1840. It is rare to find a pair of platter in this size and condition.
