An authentic mid-19th-century English brown transferware plate by Hill Pottery of Staffordshire, featuring the highly collectible "Rustic" pattern, as clearly marked on the reverse with its original registration number (Rd No. 50790). This 8-inch plate displays a charming pastoral village scene"”cottages, trees, and rolling countryside"”encircled by an ornate foliate and architectural border rendered in warm sepia-brown. The design exemplifies the English Rustic / pastoral aesthetic popular during the early Victorian period, celebrating rural life through finely detailed transfer printing. The earthenware body exhibits the expected glaze crazing associated with genuine 19th-century Staffordshire ceramics, contributing to the plate's character and authenticity. Pieces with clear Hill Pottery marks and named patterns are increasingly difficult to find. Ideal for wall display, layered shelving, or inclusion in a curated transferware collection. In good antique condition consistent with age. There is extensive surface crazing, typical of mid-19th-century earthenware. The rim shows minor flea bites that can be felt but are not visually prominent. No cracks or repairs observed.
