    Pearlware Childs Miniature Toy Dinner Set Plate
    GRAZING CATTLE
    Cockson & Harding (Hackwood) Staffordshire England c.1830
    This is stunning and scarce historical Staffordshire tiny toy plate c1830, made as part of a complete children's transferware dinner service. The tiny piece measures 3-1/2 inches in diameter, transfer printed in a rich country red with a pearlware glaze.
    The tiny plate was finely potted and detailed, depicting a farmer and his cow walking in a pasture at the foot of a hill, with a humble cottage in the foreground and a church monastery at the top of the hill. Morning glories and lilies on a vine wind around the border. The pattern name is most commonly known as
    Monastery Hill
    , also referred to as
    Monastery on the Hill
    and/or
    Institution
    .
    The plate is marked with an impressed 'C&H'.  Made by William Hackwood (late Cockson & Harding) a pottery maker in the Staffordshire district of England in the early 1800s. The quality of the form and detailing of the engraved image is far superior to what would be expected on these diminutive sized pieces.
    The plate is in great condition, with no chips, cracks or repairs. Minor glaze crazing, glaze ponding and minor firing flaws typical of these early wares. The tiny plate is a pocket size work of art, and will make a fine addition to any collection of childrens wares or miniature doll house transferware. The pattern is especially uncommon in red. Offered as is, as shown.
    We are also other early miniature transferwares to mix and match.
