stoneware w e & co plate
RE FOR SALE IS MY DELIGHTFUL PLATE WITH A JAPANESE / CHINESE SCENE. THIS PLATE IS QUITE DELIGHTFUL WITH THE REVERSE SHOWING : (WHAT LOOKS LIKE A LAURAL LEAF SCROLL ) WITH "IRONSTONE" CONTOURING BENEATH. "W E& CO". THE REVERSE SHOWS MANUFACTURE MARKS AND AN "OVERFLOW" OF BLUE IN THE WHITE BACKGROUND. STRANGELY IT ALSO SHOWS WHAT SEEM TO BE THE FIRING STAND MARKS ,WHICH ARE ON THE REVERSE,COMING THROUGH TO THE FRONT, BEING IN THE EXACT SAME POSITION. THIS TO ME SEEMS TO INDICATE AN EARLY PLATE WITH ITS LOVELY MANUFACTURING QUIRKS! THIS WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTORS CABINET OR A HIGH SHELF AS YOU SEE WITHIN OLD COTTAGES OR FARMHOUSES BUYER TO PAY P&P
