 or Sign In to see what it's worth.
Victorian This is a wonderful child's transferware plate, circa 1890, originally part of a complete children's tea service. The plate measures 5 1/2" in diameter. The decoration is transfer printed in a rich cherry red or dark English pink. The plate depicts a little girl named May or Mae standing in front of farmhouse wearing a dress and an apron. She is holding up the front of the apron which is filled with eggs. She is also wearing a hat, and one of her socks is falling down. This endearing scene is framed by an aesthetic background of flowers. The plate was made by Charles Allerton & Sons, a pottery manufacturer in the Staffordshire region of England who was well known for his whimsical children's tea sets. The pattern name is "MAY". The plate is marked with the pattern name and Allerton's pattern number 753. The influence of the Aesthetic movement on the pattern design captures the Victorian love of nature and the exotic. The plate is in great condition, with no chips, cracks, or repairs. A typical transfer wrinkle and minor transfer imperfections, original to the making. Minor wear and light crazing consistent with age. The plate displays beautifully. Its a great example of naive and whimsical early wares! Children's aesthetic transferware in this fun pattern is highly sought after, and animal lovers and farm and veterinary folks love it! A perfect gift for a doll collector or that special someone! We have listed companion plates depicting Little Mae with her Pets, and the same little girl with her huge dog, along with other winsome children's transferwares this week.
