Figure 24 Plate, England, ca. 1815–1830. Pearlware. D. 7". The even scallop rim dates from ca. 1810–1835. Because of the limited palette of colors available for underglaze pearlware decoration, the shield is painted in orange and blue enamels. A set of these plates, marked with an impressed “B,” was found at Arell’s Tavern. An 8" blue shell-edged eagle plate was found at McKnight’s Tavern, whose location was marked by the shop’s sign, a spread eagle. |
