This earthenware plate, crafted by James and Ralph Clews between 1822 and 1837, features a scenic landscape within a decorative floral border. The central image depicts a body of water with a boat, surrounded by trees and hills, likely representing a specific location or view. The Clews brothers were known for their ceramic wares, often incorporating transfer printing techniques to create detailed designs. This plate, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the English tradition of decorative tableware production during the 19th century.
