Georgian Staffordshire Blue and White Pearlware Buffalo Pattern Scalloped-edged Plate, c. 1790

Georgian Staffordshire blue and white plate featuring a boy on a buffalo with a pavilion and an island with a clump of banyan trees. The nankin or inner border below the shoulder of the plate is of a honeycomb type. The border is brocade with rosettes of four rows of petals. Unmarked except for a workman’s mark (a blue dot inside a circle).

The plate has some scratches commensurate with age and fritting around the edges. Three stilt marks can be seen on the underside.
