Some information relating to Moore & Co's Wear Pottery and Scott's Southwick Pottery

My understanding is that the plates and jugs with these ship transfers where always unmarked. The transfer is nearly always printed in brown and then hand coloured before being glazed.

On this example there seems to be some very slight smudging to the transfer when it was originally applied, on the lower sales. The frigate still retains its original colours to the flags and sea and underneath the image it reads:

A FRIGATE in Full Sail
It still retains the original thin pink lustre circular lines and the gold outer edge.

On the rear of the plate, you can make out the impressed mark:

SCOTT S

that relates to Scott's Southwick Pottery.

My understanding is that Scott’s supplied plain earthenware to Moore’s Wear Pottery, for decoration.

Therefore, the plate was clearing created by Scott’s but may have been finished by Moore’s?

Examples of these plates are rare to find and most reside in museums.

This example is in great condition with the normal age related crazing to the glazed finish.

It measures 10.2” (26cm) diameter and weighs 425g.
