Description: Mid to late 19th century Staffordshire ABC plate a little over 7 1/2", white with the alphabet embossed on the edge and, inside, the brown transfer printed image of a man and dog tumbling down a hill while spying on a canoodling couple enjoying the landscape and each other. Seems a silly image to present a child. Maybe it is part of a story people at the time would have known. There is a partially printed signature on the base that I haven't been able to extrapolate (see picture). Very good condition. There is some light age tanning, minimal on the front, more obvious in a couple of places on the base. There are also a few dark dark dot on the rim. There is no damage, just evidences of age.*Feel free to ignore any Item Specific that seems especially silly, irrelevant, inappropriate, or redundant. eBay frequently adds things without consulting the seller, and which I don’t always catch. Expecting help from eBay Categories? Good luck. I always ship the business day after I receive payment, and pack multiple purchases together to save on shipping. Buyer pays actual USPS postage; there is no handling fee, and I pay for all packing materials. By clicking on “Shipping and Payments,” you can check the postage before you bid. Printed material containing advertising – even old, obsolete advertising – cannot be sent Media Mail. *I don’t know why eBay says I don’t accept returns; I have tried to change that on the listing: an item may be returned if it is substantially different from how I have described it. I will pay return postage. USPS has changed the names of their traditional service. There are only 2 things we need to know: 1) Rates went up again in January and 2) First Class and Retail Ground (now called Ground Advantage) now include insurance up to $100.00. Like Priority, Ground Advantage postage varies with distance. I ship from Arizona. Because of the new rates, and because it now includes insurance, I am going to use Ground Advantage for everything. Sometimes it’s a little slower, but the bottom line is it’s cheaper, sometimes considerably. Thank you for looking, and for wading through the fine print. I will leave Feedback to let you know your item is on the way.
