Georgian Ironstone Dish by Hicks & Meigh in Chinese Landscape Pattern circa 1818

About the Item

This is a good ironstone (stone china) Desert Dish, in the Chinese Landscape pattern, circa 1818, which we attribute to the factory of Hicks and Meigh of Shelton, Hanley, Staffordshire Potteries, England, who made good quality earthenware and ironstone wares between 1803 and 1822. The dish is well potted with an oval shape and formed side handles. The pattern is called Landscape or Chinese Landscape which is very similar to that of Spode, pattern number 3468. The pattern shows a chinoiserie landscape scene, the decoration being transfer printed in cobalt blue under-glaze, then carefully and beautifully hand painted, over-glaze in bold colored enamels. The pattern is in the Chinese taste as produced by many of the English potteries of the time, to compete directly with the large import of Canton or Chinese Export porcelain from China. This piece has a brown edge similar to that often seen on Chinese plates. The piece has a blue transfer printed mark on the base with Stone China below a crown, which we have attributed to Hicks and Meigh of Hanley, Staffordshire, who produced good quality pottery at this time with a range of very similar marks. The mark is also similar but different to Spode's Stone China mark. Overall, this is an early beautifully hand decorated piece in a stunning chinoiserie pattern, with little signs of wear.
