Dish 1828 - 1838

This oval earthenware dish, created by the Jackson brothers, Job and John, features a black and white transfer-printed design depicting a pastoral scene. The central image shows a mill by a river with figures in the foreground and a distant view of a village in the background. A floral border surrounds the design, with an intricate, bead-like edge detail. The dish, dating between 1828 and 1838, is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection. It is a fine example of early 19th-century American transferware.
