| John Rogers & Son 'Elephant' pattern plate c1820 |
By the early 1800s London Zoo was beginning to attract attention by importing exotic animals such as zebras, rhinos and elephants. This was reflected in several blue and white patterns. One of the finest is the elephant pattern by John Rogers which adds an elephant and trainer to an otherwise oriental scene of trees and pagodas. For more details visit my website Premier Antiques
