Item #: 1-137C-0
Object: Plate
Origin: England
Style:
STAFFORDSHIRE
Staffordshire is a generic term for ceramics made in the industrial area encompassing six towns that now make up Stoke on Trent in England. The Staffordshire potteries became a center of ceramic production in the 17th century due to the local availability of clay, salt, lead, and coal. Hundreds of companies produced ceramic pieces, but two of the most famous are Wedgwood and Spode. The term, potholes, comes from this area due to the early practice of local potters digging holes in the roads to obtain clay.
Date: 1900
Comment:
This beautiful and old plate with a great mark on the back is exactly the piece for which you've been searching!
Condition:
GOOD
In overall good condition. Antique and vintage items by their very nature are used items and will show signs of normal wear due to age and use. As we define 'good condition' relative to the stated age of the piece, we would expect to see 'character marks' consistent with that age and could include nicks or dings to a wooden or metal object, wear to a painted surface, speckling on a mirror, crazing or manufacturing glaze skips in ceramic finish, wear to a label, and some original decorative trim may be missing. If ceramic/porcelain restoration has been done, it is of museum-quality so that it is hardly discernable and would be mentioned in the listing. 'Good condition' would not include chips or cracks in any glass or ceramic item.

CERAMIC
The word ceramics originates from the ancient Greek word keramikos, meaning potter's clay. The practice of making ceramics has been in existence for nearly 30,000 years. Clay, the primary ingredient for any ceramic, is primarily made of aluminum silicate, which is a malleable soil from crumbling rocks. Ceramics can be grouped according to the type of clay used, the temperature at which the clay is fired, and the duration of the firing.
