Description: Set of 7 Pearlware Childs Miniature Toy Dinner Set Plates MONASTERY ON THE HILL Hackwood Staffordshire England c.1830 This is a stunning and scarce set of 7 historical Staffordshire tiny toy plates, c 1830, made as part of a complete children's transferware dinner service. Three tiny pieces measure 2-3/4 inches, three measure 3 inches, and 1 shallow bowl measures 3-1/4 inches in diameter with a deep center well, all transfer printed in a rich country red with a pearlware glaze. The tiny set was finely potted and detailed, depicting a farmer and his cow walking in a pasture at the foot of a hill, with a humble cottage in the foreground and a church monastery at the top of the hill. Morning glories and lilies on a vine wind around the border. The pattern name is most commonly known as Monastery Hill , also referred to as Monastery on the Hill and/or Institution. The plates are marked with an impressed 'HACKWOOD'. Made by William Hackwood (late Cockson & Harding) a pottery maker in the Staffordshire district of England in the early 1800s. The quality of the form and detailing of the engraved image is far superior to what would be expected on these diminutive sized pieces. The plate set is in great condition, with a tiny shallow flake on back of one plate and no other chips, cracks or repairs. Minor imperfections...glaze ponding, minor firing flaws typical of these early wares. The tiny set is a pocket size work of art, and will make a fine addition to any collection of childrens wares or miniature doll house transferware. The pattern is especially uncommon in red. Offered as is, as shown. We are also other early miniature transferwares to mix and match. Please send us a note with any questions or if you would like to see additional photos.
