Inspired by English transferware designs of the 19th century, the pattern became popular in Italy and was produced by a number of Italian ceramic manufactories during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese plates were \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esourced in Italy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and date to approximately \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1890–1910\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Each bears the Colandine pattern name on the reverse along with an underglaze green factory mark. The green mark is partially obscured and not sufficiently legible to confidently attribute the plates to a particular manufacturer. Because numerous Italian factories produced variations of Colandine during this period, we have chosen to leave the maker unidentified rather than make an uncertain attribution.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe rich brown transfer against the softly aged cream ground gives these plates wonderful warmth and makes them especially beautiful mixed with other antique brown and white transferware.
