Early Blue and White - 'Italian Scenery'

'Italian Scenery' Arcaded Dessert Plate c1820

A fine basket weave and arcaded plate printed in dark blue with a view taken from the 'Italian Scenery' series produced by several early potters. A charming river scene with a woman, goats and a cow in the foreground, two men in a rowing boat and in the background an Italianate building with a tower and bridge. I have two of these lovely plates, and although unmarked, are probably by Adams or Wood. For more details visit Premier Antiques
