Made by Davenport with floral pattern, circa early to mid 1800s. Approx 6" x 5" x 2.5" including the edge. This piece feels like ironstone to us, but we cannot be certain. Excellent condition. No chips or cracks.

John Davenport, born in 1765, is said to have begun potting in 1785, first as a workman, and later as a partner with Thomas Wolfe of Stoke. He acquired his own pottery at Longport in Staffordshire for the manufacture of earthenware in 1794. In 1830 he retired, and his two sons Henry and William carried on the firm. In 1835, when Henry died, the name changed to William Davenport & Company. William died in 1869 and his two sons took over. The business remained in the family until 1887. The marking on this dish is printed in blue and imprinted "Davenport", both in uppercase letters. The imprint has a faint, simple anchor trademark under the name, indicating the date of this piece is post 1805, but pre -1881. The transfer pattern is printed in a medium blue palette with an unidentified view which may be from their Rhine or Rhenish Views series.
