Staffordshire Gads Hill Charles Dickens Black Transfer Ware / Creamware Plate

Royal Cauldon
Ridgewood

If you are a collector of transferware, here is a real treat...an 8.5" square shaped antique plate from a rare series featuring dogs by Royal Cauldon. This plate looks a lot like creamware with an all over relief/embossed design done with much intricacy and detail. The plate depicts Gads Hill, the home of Charles Dickens, framed by the embossed floral scrolled border that really makes it stand out. STUNNING. 

The plate is in great condition for its age, very fine allover crazing and some  coloring/ darkening of the glaze as shown in pics.  It has a gorgeous patina.  I ha e discounted the plate by nearly 30% due to the discoloration as shown

I currently have other plates available in this series with different poets homes.
