Rare Antique Pearlware Cup Plate, Blue Transfer & Pink Lustre, English, 1825ish

This is a rare pearlware cup plate in excellent condition. A beautiful wash of pink lustre over the blue & white transfer border of daisy-like blooms adds an elegance to this small pottery cup plate. The blue transfer that is encircled by the border illustrates a water fall with a gentleman and a cow in the foreground. A ruin with an arcade and tower is in the middle-ground. A country church pin-points a small village in the distance.

This print is not attributed to any particular Staffordshire pottery, as far as I know. This cup plate was made in England at the end of the Georgian era, about 1825. The condition is near perfect. There are only some minor rubs in lustre.
