A richly patterned floral border surrounds the scene, all rendered in warm brown transfer against an aged cream ground. The gently shaped edges and nearly two centuries of patina give these small plates wonderful character. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe reverse bears the decorative \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Corinthian”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e backstamp within an ivy wreath, with the letter \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e beneath. This same Corinthian backstamp appears on the matching stand of a covered tureen from the collection whose tureen body is separately marked \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTidmarsh \u0026amp; Brown, No. 4 Rosemary Lane, London\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Historical records document Tidmarsh \u0026amp; Brown at that London address by the 1830s as a china and earthenware concern associated with Staffordshire wares. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe exact pottery responsible for manufacturing the Corinthian service has not been conclusively identified. We have therefore conservatively catalogued these plates as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish manufacture\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, rather than assigning them to a specific pottery. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe ceramic body and subtle cool blue cast visible where the glaze pools are consistent with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish pearlware of the period\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. A closely corresponding Corinthian tureen and stand has also been documented as pearlware and dated circa 1830. As the ceramic body has not been independently tested, we describe the material conservatively as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epearlware \/ glazed earthenware\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVery good antique condition for their age with no chips or cracks. Both plates exhibit age-related crazing and scattered browning\/staining, along with slight roughness to portions of the edges and other expected evidence of age and use. These characteristics are consistent with early 19th-century earthenware and contribute to their wonderfully timeworn appearance.
