About These Staffordshire Ceramic Plates

A charming pair of decorative Staffordshire ceramics, offering classic country-house appeal. They would make an attractive addition to a collection of Staffordshire ceramics, equestrian and hunting memorabilia, or traditional decorative pieces.

Each round plate shows red-coated riders on horseback with hounds running alongside, set against a soft countryside background. The white ceramic stands out strongly against the deep red backing inside each frame. Labels on the reverse describe them as a “Hand-made English Ceramic Miniature”, made in Staffordshire “in the heart of the Potteries” by craftsmen with years of experience.

About the Staffordshire Potteries

The Staffordshire Potteries, centred on the area around Stoke-on-Trent, have been the heart of English ceramic making for centuries. The region’s clay and coal helped it to grow into a world-famous industry, and it was home to well known names such as Wedgwood. These Staffordshire ceramic plates carry on that local tradition of decorative pottery, and the labels on the back are a nice link to where they were made.

Hunting Scenes in British Decorative Art

Hunting and sporting scenes have long been popular subjects in British prints, paintings and ceramics. The bright red jackets, fine horses and busy hounds bring plenty of colour and movement, and the subject has become closely linked with the traditional look of the country house. Because the two scenes differ, they work well as a matching pair, and a viewer can enjoy picking out the small details of the riders, horses and hounds on each plate.

Displaying Your Staffordshire Ceramic Plates

Because the frames are a compact 17cm square, these Staffordshire ceramic plates are easy to fit into a small space. Hang them side by side, one above the other, or either side of a mirror or fireplace. They would suit a study, hallway, country kitchen or boot room, and they would make a lovely gift for anyone who enjoys horses, riding or country life.

Caring for Your Framed Plates

Dust the frames and ceramic gently with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid water or cleaning products around the backing. Hang your Staffordshire ceramic plates away from direct sunlight and damp, as this will help protect the coloured backing and the paper labels on the reverse.
