Antique Black Transferware Childs Plate: Mother & Child Prayer, Floral Rim








Antique Black Transferware Childs Plate: Mother & Child Prayer, Floral Rim
$25.00
COLLECTIBLE! I found a few pieces of glazed pearlware child's nursery plates and a mug. They are listed separately.
This is the sweetest of the plates. It has a black transferware center. The textured surface of the outside rim is a series of daisies with a red rim outlining them - so adorable! The picture on the inside of the plate is a child kneeling at their mother's knee saying their evening prayers. Their canopy bed is in the background. Parental Care is underneath the image.
The plate has an impressed ceramic mark on the back (which I can not read). It has one small chip on the bottom edge and is free of any other chips/cracks. There is significant crazing. There is darkening stains on the front and back of the plate that are underneath the surface finish.
This would display so well in a nursery, playroom or farmhouse kitchen. I think it would be nice in a vignette celebrating Early American themes as well. Unique and rare, for sure! Children's dishes of this type often had the purpose of teaching moral lessons to children, often depicting themes like industry and thrift. (I'm not sure what the message of this plate is - maybe how to be a jokester!) They were popular throughout the 19th century, with some being made as late as the early 20th century. I believe this is an early version based on the style and condition.
Dimensions:
4 7/8" diameter x 5/8" tall
Note there are four other pieces available that can be seen in separate listings.
