Large 19th C. Staffordshire Transferware Platter – “Net” Pattern

Staffordshire transferware “Net” pattern meat platter, circa 1810.
 
Dimensions: Approximately 18¼” x 13⅞”. 
 
Decoration: 
The border has a floral and diaper pattern.
 
The center design gives the pattern its name "Net" because of the net background in the central medallion that contains a flower cross. This medallion is surrounded by four vignettes containing Chinese style landscapes, each different from the others and these, in turn, are set in a background of floral designs.
 
The reverse is unmarked.
 
A number of firms produced this pattern, including Spode, Herculaneum, Job Ridgway, and others.
