Chinese Export Boat Pattern ..John and William Ridgway Posted by Kathy Carter on May 20, 2012, 10:32 pm I have a small plate with the J&W Ridgway cartouche, label. It looks exactly like this plate on your database except mine has a boat by the flying geese. Mine is also not as crisp of transfer as seen in the database. Mine almost looks flo blue. The picture looks like a finer china, mine looks heavy like ironstone or a heavy pottery. Any idea?

On the plate and platter in the database, the boat is on the other side of the pattern. "Stone China" is the term J & W Ridgway used to describe their ironstone china. The plate, which is mine, is not thick and heavy. It appears much like normal earthenware although the quality of the clay body is very fine as well as the engraving of the pattern. There are instructions here on the Message Board on how to post photos, or you could just send me photos of the pattern and mark to my email address. Thanks for contacting us with your questions.

Re: Chinese Export Boat pattern Posted by Connie Rogers on May 30, 2012, 11:56 am, in reply to "Re: Chinese Export Boat pattern" 24.165.108.63 Hi kathy, I saw your emerging boat pattern on Flicker with the J & W Ridgway mark. Please send me a good image of that one for the database. I have a 4.75 inch plate with that same variation on it, but mine has no mark. This will be good documentation to have more than one version. Thanks!
