Schotel van hardgebakken aardewerk; Stockton c. 1830 - 1860

This 19th-century earthenware saucer, created by William Smith, is a beautiful example of transferware. The central image depicts a mythological scene with cherubs and a goat, surrounded by a floral border in vibrant greens, pinks, and blues. The intricate details of the transferware design, along with the use of black and white imagery, contribute to the saucer's charming appeal. The small size and delicate design suggest that this saucer was likely part of a tea set, bringing a touch of elegance to daily life in the mid-19th century.
