Description from the seller
22-piece brown transferware crockery set in brown transferware (difficult to find as it is usually produced in blue) produced in England between 1860 and the end of the 19th century by GLA & Bros, a period when transfer printing was very popular for its ability to mass-produce intricate designs.
The mark on the back of the vintage earthenware plates belongs to the collaboration between the Welsh retailer F. Primavesi & Son (active in Cardiff and Swansea) and the English ceramics manufactory G.L. Ashworth & Bros, which produced the decorative pattern named "Acropolis" in the second half of the 19th century.
* Mark details: The acronym "G.L.A. & Bros" refers to George L. Ashworth & Bros, successors of the famous Mason’s Ironstone, while the crest with the English royal motto was used by Primavesi as a stash/retailer mark.
* Production period: The plates date roughly from the period between 1860 and the end of the 19th century, when the family business operated as an important glass and ceramics dealer in South Wales.
The set consists of:
5 soup plates (diameter 23.5 cm)
12 dinner plates (diameter 23.5 cm)
2 dessert plates (diameter 18 cm)
2 large rectangular serving plates of different sizes
(28 cm wide, 23 cm deep) it is noted that the 23 cm-wide oval is damaged but repaired as shown in the photo
1 shallow serving oval (28 cm wide)
Shipping with express courier and insured, packed with bubble wrap in a wooden crate
