Plate 1828 - 1838

This transfer-printed earthenware plate, made by Job & John Jackson between 1828 and 1838, features a central image of a building surrounded by trees and a cart. The rim of the plate is decorated with a floral motif, typical of the era's decorative style. The plate exemplifies the use of transfer printing in 19th century England, where designs were transferred onto ceramic surfaces from engraved copper plates, allowing for mass production of decorative tableware. This particular piece is currently part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
