<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 46640, member: 44&quot;]Gee, I can&#039;t believe I found this pattern. I was casually thumbing through Petra Williams &amp; Webers books thinking if Bear, Moreoverstuff and Don can&#039;t find a name, I certainly can&#039;t either. I went ahead and looked anyways for index finger exercise. Williams &amp; Weber&#039;s <i>Staffordshire Romantic Transfer Patterns Cup Plates &amp; Early Victorian China</i>, p. 373, Scenic Catagory, p. 373, &quot;Peruvian&quot; made by John Wedge Wood. It shows a plate and a platter or vegetable something with both having a rim design. Here&#039;s what it says:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The rim design is almost a copy of Peru. The rim design has been divided into panals by vertical lines. However the dark panels do not contain the bellflower design found on Peru but instead have a diamond containing a rosette in the center. Scrolls are used to contain the bottom of the patterns, and small crosses are placed under the scrolls and around the upper well.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The scene, like Peru, shows a river which originates in a waterfall in the center. There are a castle and minarets at left set against very tall mountains. The elm tree rise at right on the cup plate behind the same covered urn near a pool that can be seen on Peru, but a fountain has been added at left and is distinctive on all pieces of this pattern. The vegetable dish has a different architectural design at right. Neither piece shows the wide flat-leaved plants found in Peru.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Marked J. Wedgwood, GMK. 4276a, 1845-60.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>If you don&#039;t have this book, I&#039;ll scan the page for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
