Maker: Henshall  Pattern: The Gleaners

A delightful rural scene, which makes this a popular design today.
As usual there is no maker's mark, but this pattern is usually attributed to Henshall & Co of Longport, active 1790-1828, because of the impressed date codes that appear, which on this plate is an impressed 4 over 24.
The glaze of this plate is crazed with associated discolouration. There are three stilt marks on the border and a couple of very small glazing blemishes and on the back a possible short hairline, although it does not appear to go through. The glaze is still bright and shines almost like new.
