Antique British Blue Transferware Saucer – “Girl with Basket” Pastoral Scene, Registered May 7, 1883

This lovely Victorian blue transferware saucer captures the simple beauty of 19th-century English ceramics, featuring a charming central image of a young girl carrying a basket in a pastoral countryside setting. Surrounded by a delicate border of vines, flowers, and scrolling motifs, the design is executed in a soft cobalt blue typical of the Aesthetic Movement period. The reverse bears a British registration mark dated May 7, 1883, confirming its authentic 19th-century origin. Produced in Staffordshire, England—an area renowned for its fine earthenware—the saucer likely came from one of the many small potteries creating blue transfer pieces for domestic and export markets at the time. 🌿 Key Features: Authentic British blue transferware, registered May 7, 1883 Pastoral “Girl with Basket” scene framed by botanical border Made in Staffordshire, England (typical of late Victorian makers) Classic blue-on-white coloration with fine transfer detail Dimensions: approx. 5” diameter
