About the Item

This is a stunning plate made by John Rose at Coalport between 1805 and 1815. The plate is decorated in underglaze cobalt blue and has beautifully hand painted flowers and fruits, and rich gilding. Coalport was one of the leading potters in 19th and 20th Century Staffordshire. They worked alongside other great potters such as Spode, Davenport and Minton, and came out with many innovative designs. When we say "Coalport" we usually think of the one Coalport factory that became famous, but in its beginning years there were two factories, one run by John Rose and the other by his brother Thomas Rose. Thomas Rose went into partnership with Robert Anstice and Robert Horton and they were located directly opposite John Rose, across the canal. The brothers' factories had much in common with each other and they shared many different shapes and patterns. Ultimately, the John Rose factory proved more profitable and John Rose bought Thomas' factory in 1814, making it the one Coalport factory that became so famous. Many of the Coalport items, of either factory, are now collectors' items. This plate interesting in its history: it was potted in the heavy very early Coalport porcelain from before 1810, with the usual imperfections and blue smudges on the underside - this was still in the early years of the Coalport factory. The porcelain is a hybrid of hard paste and soft paste, before bone china (which is purely soft paste) became the standard - you can see this from the greyish hue. However, the decoration is probably from a bit later in around 1815, so the plate might have been added to a later tea or dessert service. I also have a sucrier with cover available in the same pattern, please see separate listing. The decoration consists of a deep cobalt blue ground with rich gilt geometrical patterns and stunning, extremely bright hand painted flowers and fruits. The plate is unmarked as was common in those days. CONDITION REPORT The plate is in good antique condition without any damage or repairs. It does have crazing, however, and also some wear throughout, as clearly visible in the pictures. There is some soot baked into the glaze on the underside, which is very common for items from before 1810. Antique British porcelain is never perfect. Kilns were fired on coal in the 1800s, and this meant that china from that period can have some firing specks from flying particles. British makers were also known for their experimentation, and sometimes this resulted in technically imperfect results. Due to the shrinkage in the kiln, items can have small firing lines or develop crazing over time, which should not be seen as damage but as an imperfection of the maker's recipes, probably unknown at the time of making. Items have often been used for many years and can have normal signs of wear, and gilt can have signs of slight disintegration even if never handled. I will reflect any damage, repairs, obvious stress marks, crazing or heavy wear in the item description but some minor scratches, nicks, stains and gilt disintegration can be normal for vintage items and need to be taken into account. There is widespread confusion on the internet about the difference between chips and nicks, or hairlines and cracks. I will reflect any damage as truthfully as I can, i.e. a nick is a tiny bit of damage smaller than 1mm and a chip is something you can easily see with the eye; a glazing line is a break in the glazing only; hairline is extremely tight and/or superficial and not picked up by the finger; and a crack is obvious both to the eye and the finger. Etcetera - I try to be as accurate as I can and please feel free to ask questions or request more detailed pictures! DIMENSIONS (diameters) 23.5cm (9.25").
