SOLD From an Affectionate Father, Early 19th Century Staffordshire Child's Plate

My favorite, and the most precious, early British transferware child's cups and dishes are ones incorporating this style of text--and they to me also bear a strong kinship to late 18th c. Bilston and Battersea enamel trinket boxes. This is a scarce one--including for speaking of the affections of a father (so many more about mothers!)--and what excellent faces on the "little men" pictured with hoop and on teeter totter! A perfect gift from a father to a son or daughter with a love for early English transferware I'd say, or to a young one to keep and hand-down across generations.

6 1/4" in diameter and in very very good condition. One tiny glaze chip around the rim, as detailed.
