Unusual English Ironstone, twelve sided plates in a 'Marble' pattern, sometimes called 'Cracked Ice.'

A scarce pattern that mixes well with other plates, especially white for a modern look.

A tissue printed sheet pattern, applied under the glaze, in shades of black and gray on a white stoneware body showing nice bluing. A set of four, each plate varies slightly in intensity of color.

Impressed on the verso, 'Read Ironstone' attributed to Jonah Read - Hanley, Staffordshire, England, circa 1833-1839

Measures: 8.0 in. diameter x 1.0 in. height.

Very good antique condition, the expected very light roughing to the rims. One plate has a small loss to the footing, not effecting the seating. Stilt marks are a kiln effect.
