A most attractive Early 19th Century Antique English Blue and White Transfer Pottery Dessert Plate, printed in the perennially popular "Wild Rose" pattern which first appeared in the 1830's. A pattern used by many potters, a representative list of whom may be found in Volume I of Coysh & Henrywood's "Dictionary of Blue and White Printed Pottery 1780 - 1880". The bucolic scene here depicted, with Nuneham Park, the seat of Earl Harcourt to the left and a riverside cottage and two punts in the foreground, is based upon an engraving by W. Cooke after a drawing by S. Owen of the village of Nuneham Courtenay, about five miles South East of Oxford, published on 1st February 1811 jointly by Vernon, Hood and Sharpe of Poultry and W. Cooke of 12, York Place, Pentonville. Whilst the pattern is frequently encountered, marked pieces are not so often found and, pleasingly, the reverse of this lovely old plate bears the printed title "Wild Rose" within a floral cartouche in underglaze blue.
