About the Item

Presented is a blue-glazed transferware bread and butter plate, by the famous British potters Johnson Brothers. Made in England, this plate comes from their “Historic America” line of ceramics, with the specific pattern celebrating the exploration and settlement of our Western states. Titled “Covered Wagons and the Rocky Mountains,” the pattern depicts a train of covered wagons in the foreground, each led by a team of oxen. The grassy valley is decorated with horse-mounted trail guides, tall trees, and even an active geyser. In the background, the sharp peaks of the Rocky Mountains loom large and grandiose. The rim of the plate is further decorated with an acorn and leaf border. British Staffordshire potteries such as Wedgwood and Johnson Brothers capitalized upon the surge of popularity of American history after the Centennial of 1876 and again during the interwar period. Johnson Brothers’ serial pattern “Historic America,” introduced in 1938-39, celebrated early American history with idyllic and patriotic 19th-century themes. Scenes were modeled closely after iconic engravings by 19th century publishers, such as Currier and Ives, and subjects were chosen for how they reinforced Americans’ sense of national identity and pride. CONDITION: Good condition. Blue printed transferware. Stamped on back with eagle, title, and "Johnson Bros. England" patent number. Small chip on back of plate, not affecting front image, small stains on back. Dimensions: 1/2" H x 6 3/8" W x 6 3/8" D. Accompanied by our company's letter of authenticity.
