Description: THREE Antique Georgian Miles Mason transferware Plates Early 19th Century. For those unfamiliar with Miles Mason, let me make the introduction: Miles Mason was born in Dent, Yorkshire. He became a sucessfull London merchant of imported china and glass ware. Around 1792, when the the tax on imported Chinese porcelain became excessive, he joined Thomas Wolfe and John Lucock potting at the Islington China Manufactory, Liverpool and also George Wolfe, earthenware manufacturer, Lane Delph, Stoke-upon-Trent. In 1800 he moved to the Victoria Works and in around 1806 moved to the Minerva Works, Lane Delph. He took his three sons William; George Miles and Charles James into business with him. In 1811 William Mason set up manufacturing on his own account. Miles Mason retired in 1813 and the business was continued by his sons George & Charles. Back to the three plates up for sale: Each plate bears Mason’s Chinese-inspired chop mark. They were made between 1800 and 1813. Accordingly, they are over 200 years old. Each plate is about 7.5 inches in diameter depending upon how measured. The plates are of a soft paste porcelain that was popular with English potteries at the time. Therefore, not many survived. Photos of these plates show crazing and staining associated with age and use. However, none show chips, breaks, or repairs. For their age, each one is in remarkably good condition.
