Maker: Stevenson  Pattern: Rose Border Series

Andrew Stevenson of Cobridge, active 1816 to 1830, produced his popular dark blue Rose Border Series primarily for the American export market. This plate depicts Oatlands or Oatlands Hall near Weybridge, Surrey. Oatlands was originally an Elizabethan Royal palace, but over the centuries demolition and fires saw other smaller houses take the place of the palace. Since 1856 it has been a hotel and continues as such today.
Typical blue printed cartouche backstamp with urn and drape, containing title Oatlands, Surrey and impressed mark A Stevenson Warranted Staffordshire round a crown. Provenance the Otto Collection with label and item number 875.
At first sight this platter looks near perfect, but a long hairline, running down from 11 o'clock has been extremely well restored and a large chip at 2 o'clock has also been restored. Otherwise this platter is in lovely condition.
