Description: Vaquero transferware small dinner plate or salad plate, 9" with an ochre lustre border (think butternut squash color) and center green image of what is probably a Spanish nobleman and two horses. Potted by Elsmore and Forster ca. 1850s or so. Love that pattern! A Vaquero is actually a cattle herder, and this scene could be inspired from Spain or the Southwest US or even South America. I have to say that potters often took some poetic license with their images on transferware -- not exactly what we think a cowboy would look like! This is an English potter, however, although I think of Elsmore and Forster more for plain white ironstone. Not signed, but pattern IDd with transferware group. I see no issues or problems with this plate -- some crazing, but no flakes, chips, repairs. Very few examples on a google search, and the center medallion color seems to vary. I have to think this is a very hard to find pattern -- but I also think it's amazingly gorgeous For the horse lover, and to pop up a white ironstone display on your horse farm! See last photo. I am listing the tureen as well, and of course combine shipping, but you have to ask. The white ironstone pitcher and platter are sold -- photo for display purposes. onlySee for yourself!
