"This is an early Scottish large blue transferware well and tree meat platter with a scene of London, England in blue transfer c1840.  This platter stands on two bracket feet and the juice well;  it is stamped R.A.K. &amp; Co. UNITED KINGDOM LONDON for R.A Kidston and Co. Finnieston (part of Glasgow) Scotland who used this mark from 1838-1845.  The Coysh &amp; Henrywood Blue and White Printed Pottery reference book mentions this series, but not this actual scene of London - I have never run across this pattern piece before. It is in good condition with no cracks, losses, damage or repairs other than some fine overall crazing, a bit of minor bruising to one foot rim (intact with no losses), a 5/8\" edge chip and some staining (mostly on the back).  A nice survivor from c1840. All items are thoroughly and conservatively graded and all condition issues are noted;  all items are vintage or antique and may have slight signs of gentle use.  Surface tracked shipping to the U.S. starts at $45 (other spots may vary) - insurance will be included in any shipping quotes.
