Pair of pottery pearlware glazed plates decorated in brilliant enamels with inscription Jamaica Girls for ever.

Ref: 9975 Categories: ,

£2350

Dated: 1820 Swansea Wales UK.

A rare and possibly unique pair of pearlware pottery plates decorated with flowers and leaves in bright enamel colors. Each plate features the legends "Jamaica Girls for Ever" and Jamaica Girls. The plates are probably from the Swansea Pottery located in South Wales and date to the circa1820 period. Sadly I have no idea of the significance of the Jamaica Girl reference, which remains an intriguing mystery. The plates are in excellent order as intended only for decoration and commemoration and not for domestic use.

Diameter: 10 inches

Current Condition: Unrestored clean condition with only minor signs of historical wear.
