Jones & Middleton The Original Staffordshire Red Transferware Oval Platter

Red transferware is a rarer and more striking alternative to the classic blue, and this Jones and Middleton oval platter is a handsome example of the Staffordshire tradition at its most decorative, with the warm, country-house character that makes red transfer pieces so appealing to collectors.

Produced by Jones and Middleton Ltd of Burslem, England, this oval platter features a red transfer-printed rural village landscape framed by a raised grapevine and leaf border. The warm red tone and detailed landscape scene give it a strong country-house character, suited to traditional ceramic collections, red transferware groupings and English country-style interiors. Jones and Middleton pieces are relatively uncommon in the market, and the quality of the transfer work and the crispness of the grapevine border make this a particularly desirable example. Red transferware platters of this size and quality are increasingly sought after by collectors who want to build a cohesive display beyond the more common blue and white pieces. This example is in visible condition as shown in the images.
