On offer is a rare and historically significant 19th-century English blue and white transfer-printed platter, attributed to Swillington Bridge Pottery in Methley, Yorkshire. This large and impressive platter features the Wild Rose pattern, a scenic design inspired by Nuneham Courtenay, Bridge, and Cottage.

This example is fully illustrated in “The Dictionary of Blue & White Printed Pottery, Volume 1, Page 401”, confirming its historical importance. The original copper-engraved plate used for this pattern was produced by Wildblood, John & Co, a company established in 1805 by William and Thomas Wildblood at Swillington Bridge Pottery.

Though this platter is unmarked, research suggests it likely dates to the 1817-1831 period, when Swillington Bridge Pottery was active but had not yet introduced consistent maker’s marks. This piece is a remarkable survivor from the early 19th century, making it a rare collector’s item.
