ROYAL STAFFORDSHIRE PURPLE TRANSFER WARE LUNCH PLATE 

For consideration is this plate in one of the most beautiful pastoral patterns found on transferware. It depicts an English tavern in the background with a man and his horses drinking from a trough. In the foreground, ducks are wading in the stream. The border in this pattern is one of my favorites, combining a unique blend of lattice and ivy framing insets of farm implements...rake-hoe-shovel and a beeskeep. Each piece in this series has a different design so check my other listings as I've got more in this pattern.

Known both as Rural Scenes by Royal Staffordshire Dinnerware by Clarice Cliff and Pastoral Davenport by A J Wilkinson
