An interesting Early 20th Century Antique English Edwardian Commemorative Plate in Royal Semi-Porcelain by Wood and Sons of Burslem, Staffordshire, issued in 1907, to mark the centenary of the Primitive Methodists' First Camp Meeting, held at Mow Cop on 31 May 1807. Primitive Methodism was seen to originate in this All Day of Prayer ( often miscalled a "Camp Meeting" ), and this led, in 1811, to two groups joining together, the 'Camp Meeting Methodists' and the 'Clowesites', led by Hugh Bourne and William Clowes respectively. This lovely plate is decorated with transfer prints, heightened with gold lustre, depicting these two leading preachers together with notable chapels of the movement, all to be found in "the Potteries". The reverse printed with details of the movement's membership beneath the title, "What God Hath Wrought!", this all enclosed within a scrolled cartouche below which is the Registration No. 491901 together with the Maker's Mark.
Width ~ 22.80 cm. / 9.00 inches ~ Year ~ Circa 1907.
