A large circa 1820 English Staffordshire blue and white transferware ‘well-and-tree’ platter in the famous “Italian” pattern by Spode. According to ‘The Dictionary of Blue and White Printed Pottery 1780 – 1880’, Volume I, by A.W. Coysh and R.K. Henrywood, the pattern was introduced in 1816 and is based on an ink wash drawing attributed to Dutch artist Frederick de Moucheron (1633 – 1686) with the additions of a seated female figure and flock of four lambs at right, along with the flowers in the foreground, supplied by the Spode engraver. Considered one of the most famous of Spode’s patterns, it was copied and produced by many other English potteries throughout the 19th century and is believed to have been produced continually since introduction. A fine early original example ready for display and the holiday table.
