Meat Dish or Platter c1850
This dish is attributed to W Barker & Son of Hill Pottery, Burslem active 1850 to 1860, or it may be from one of his other partnerships Barker, Sutton & Till or Barker & Till at The Sytch Pottery, Burslem. All are known to have made this pattern and the backstamp on this piece has been found with W Barker & Son beneath.
The Royal Cottage depicted is in Windsor Great Park and was largely built and designed for George IV, when he was Prince Regent. It is better known today as a favourite home of the Queen Mother and it is here she died.The pattern re-appeared in the 20th Century, when it was rather oddly renamed Tonquin.
Backstamp: blue printed scenic cartouche with shield containing Royal Cottage.
The glaze is crazed and there is a touch of light associated staining here and there, but nothing major, so overall in good condition and an attractive piece.
Dimensions: 27.5 x 23 cm / 11 x 9 ins

Drainer c1835
This drainer is attributed to Barker, Sutton & Till of Sytch Pottery, Burslem active 1832 to 1846, although this design was also produced by their later partnerships, as well as other makers, so attribution cannot be certain.
The Royal Cottage depicted is in Windsor Great Park and was largely built and designed for George IV, when he was Prince Regent. It is better known today as a favourite home of the Queen Mother and it is here she died.The pattern re-appeared in the 20th Century, when it was rather oddly renamed Tonquin.
No maker's backstamp.
The glaze is finely crazed, with a hint of associated staining here and there, which is mainly visible on the back. One tiny nick on rim and on a couple of the holes. All really minor, as drainers do not come much better than this.
Dimensions: 33.5 cm x 24.5 cm / 13.25 ins x 9.75 ins
