Staffordshire English Blue & White Transfer Pottery Platter in the Royal Cottage pattern, featuring a romanticized view of Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park, which was largely built and designed for George IV, when he was Prince Regent. It is better known today as a favorite home and the place where the Queen Mother died. The pattern was re-used in the 20th Century, but named "Tonquin". The platter measures 17.5" x 14.75" with 1.5" dip in dish. Marked on reverse with blue printed scenic cartouche with shield containing "Royal Cottage" indicating the pattern, but no maker name. Also imprinted with "10". Two very small ships off bottom side of scalloped edge. Otherwise perfect. See photos.

The backstamp on this piece is known to have been used by W Barker & Son of Hill Pottery, Burslem active 1850 to 1860, Barker, Sutton & Till, Barker & Till or Thomas Till and Son (1850-1861),at The Sytch Pottery in the village of Burslem, Staffordshire. However, these companies used of this mark with the company name included, although we cannot determine if that was always the case. The fact that the company name is not present and that the associated potters are all from Staffordshire, indicates to us this piece may be earlier than 1850, as all the other Staffordshire pieces in this collection appear to be. Again, we recommend a ceramics expert examine and appraise this remarkable piece.
