Circa 1845, this beautiful plate blue transferware plate made by Joseph Heath, measures 9 1/2" wide.  In very good condition, just age appropriate discolorations due to glaze imperfections, but there are no chips, cracks or flea bites.  The tranquil scene features four people on the banks of a river looking at a castle with alps in the background.  The lip has a linear pattern with scenic areas and scrolling.  The backstamp gives the pattern name and makers mark imprinted with J. Heath.

 

Perfect for the blue & white collectors!
