Herculaneum Blue Staffordshire "Flying Pennant" Chinoiserie Pearlware Plate 1810
Offered for sale is an early transfer-printed Chinoiserie blue and white plate by Herculaneum (1796 - 1840) of Liverpool. This is a Willow pattern known as "Flying Pennant" due to the small flag in the foreground. The plate is marked with a small impressed heart. It can be definitely attributed due to a few marked and dated examples. The blue pearlware glaze is visible on the reverse. The piece measures 9 5/8 inches wide. It weighs 13 oz (shipping weight 2 lbs).
Condition: The piece is in very good condition aside from overall crazing and some brown rim stains from a plate holder, almost all on the back side. Please see the detail photos below.

We have been fortunate to secure a collection of this early transferware. Please visit our store to see the other pieces. Thank you for your interest. Early Blue-Printed English Pottery and Porcelain Transferware The clever discovery of decorating china by transfer-printing copper engraving, made in the 1750s, allowed the growing English middle class to enjoy china that closely resembled the expensive hand-painted Chinese Export porcelain which until then had been the preserve of the wealthy. This early pearlware (called so because of the lustre imparted by its blue-tinted glaze) and soft paste porcelain transferware has a detailed, hand made charm that has long attracted collectors. Whether it imitates Chinese Export, or is derived from prints of the Orient, or comes out of the creative imagination of the English engravers, you can get a unique glimpse of history with every piece.
