Stunning antique porcelain meat dish or platter, decorated in the Imari style “Anglesey” pattern (5247).
Hallmarked to the legendary British Ridgway family, specifically John and William, children of founder Job Ridgway. Deciding to go their own ways in 1830, the two brothers by that time were also running their uncle George's Bell Works, which William took, while John stayed at Cauldon Place. Of the two, John's products were of the better quality, and he was made the "Royal Potter" to Queen Victoria after the Great Exhibition of 1851, reviving the title Queen Charlotte had given to Josiah Wedgwood and becoming allowed to incorporate the Royal Arms into his marks.
This plate was made around the time the brothers split, c. 1830. This is a rare mark, and not easy to encounter.
