    Victorian Child's Brown Aesthetic Transferware Tea Set Plate
    LITTLE GIRL WITH CATS AND DOG
    Charles Allerton & Sons Staffordshire England c. 1890
    This is a wonderful child's transferware toy plate, circa 1890. Originally part of a complete children's tea set.  The cup stands 2 inches tall and the saucer measures about 5 inches in diameter. The decoration is transfer printed in a rich chocolate brown or sepia.
    The plate depicts a little girl, named Mae or May, sitting on a doorstep with a cat in her lap, a kitten drinking from a bowl of milk beside her, and her loving dog sitting at her knee. This endearing scene is framed by an aesthetic background of flowers, birds and lots of geometrical whimsies. The edge is decorated with cross hatching and fruit.
    It is marked Staffordshire England. The pattern was registered by Charles Allerton & Sons, a pottery manufacturer in the Staffordshire region of England who was well known for his whimsical children's tea sets. The influence of the Aesthetic movement on the pattern design captures the Victorian love of nature and the exotic. The pattern is known as "Little Mae with Pets", "Little May" or "Girl with Pets".
    The plate is in
    great
    condition, with
    no chips, cracks, or repairs. Not fine pottery and not meant to be...made for childs plate and probably considered disposable. It has minor glaze skips and typical transfer imperfections, original to the making. The set displays beautifully. Its a great example of naive and whimsical early wares!
    Children's aesthetic transferware is highly sought after, and animal lovers and veterinary medicine folks love it! A perfect gift for that special someone!
