1820's
Flow Blue Plate picturing Lafayette visiting Brother George Washington's Grave
This wonderful
example of historical American Staffordshire transferware by Enoch Wood &
Sons is titled �Lafayette At Washington�s Tomb� and dates circa 1820.
The manufacturer�s mark does not appear on the plate, however, this plate is
pictured on page 23 of the reference book titled �Historical Staffordshire:
American Patriots & Views� by Jeffrey B. Snyder and published by
Schiffer Publishing Ltd. These American Staffordshire pieces include
scenes of General Lafayette at President Washington�s tomb, New York City
Hall, the Boston State House, Mount Vernon, and various landscapes (see last
photo). These pieces were acquired from a Houston, Texas estate. The
Lafayette plate does have a small chip between 1 and 2 o'clock (see arrow in second
photo).
