    I rarely see intriguing dishware at the places I haunt,but this piece was cheap & seemed pristine.
    Online it's referenced as an 1830's piece-We don't find this age ceramic over here much (at garage sales anyway).
    On the site, 'A-Z of Stoke On Trent Potters' in the-'William Adams & Sons Potteries' it says this impressed mark was used from '1787-1805 on Jasper ware & 1800-1864 on general ware.'
    Is there any way to tell if this item's early production or later ? I noticed there's frit or grit in the glaze,does this help in dating it ?

    Quite a scene too. That, and the maritime subject should add to its allure to buyers.

    Quite right Houseful,I was referring to this second half of the reference-''...& 1800-1864 on general ware."
    I guess this form is called (black & white) 'transferware' ?
    Thanks AJ- It's flamboyant exotica grabbed my eye.

    The scene is wonderful. A bit Lord Byron in Albanian Dress rescues a fair Greek maiden with the Notre Dame de la Garde Basilica on the mountain in the background.:playful:

    There are transferware groups that could probably tell you the painting or etching where the design came from. This one on ebay says c.1835 and I would think that's about right. https://www.ebay.com/itm/322374694076

    I love it AJ-Look what I came across last year ! This is Byron's actual Albanian costume he wore for the famous portrait.

    Here is a little information on "the Adams Family" and also a few photos from the "The Sea" series though none exactly like yours. This is from Snyder's book Romantic Staffordshire Ceramics. It says that the items in the book were produced by the third cousins, William Adams and his sons William and Thomas, and gives some dates.
