 | Maker: Hall Pattern:Asiatic Pheasants
Plate c1830
Ralph Hall of Swan Bank Works, Tunstall, Staffordshire was in business 1822 to 1849 and was the first to introduce Asiatic Pheasants pattern, probably about 1830. It was a finely engraved design and there was variation across the different printing plates used for the various items made. Pieces by Hall are rarely found today and it seems to have been mainly produced in black and this is the first piece recorded in blue. It is a lovely wavy rim plate printed in a bright blue darker than was used later. This is a quality early 19th century plate, quite superior to what came later in this design.
Backstamp: blue printed typical floral cartouche with Asiatic Pheasants in a ribbon and R Hall beneath.
Crazed with a little very minor discolouration to the rim otherwise excellent condition.
Dimensions: 23 cm / 9 ins
