DescriptionBlue transfer-printed china glaze plate with an image of Mount Vernon in the center and a border of shells around the rim. The shell border was one of Enoch Wood and Sons most common stock designs. The view of Mount Vernon derives from an 1800 engraving by Francis Jukes after a drawing by Alexander Robertson.Mark(s)On the reverse the plate is marked with an impressed "Wood" and an additional transfer-printed mark "E. Wood & Sons" above an eagle and a banner beneath that, which incorrectly labels the image "The Capitol, Washington."ProvenanceEx. Coll: Anne Genter
