Manufacturer: Mayer
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. |
