ridgwais - Dish (7) - Ceramic

Antique English ceramics produced by the historic Ridgways manufactory (Bedford Works, Shelton, Stoke-on-Trent).
• Brand on the bottom: The blue stamp bears the crown logo with the inscription "Ridgways", "England", "Royal Semi-Porcelain" and the name of the decorative pattern "Delft".
• Style and decoration: The Ridgways "Delft" pattern echoes the classic blue-and-white Dutch-inspired motifs, often featuring landscapes with windmills and boats.
• Period: This type of "Royal Semi-Porcelain" mark is typical of production dating from the late 19th century to the early decades of the 20th century (generally datable to the end of the 1800s and the 1930s/40s).
