History

When the brothers John (1760-1816) and George Rogers (1762-1815) started their pottery at Dale Hall, Longport, Staffordshire, in 1780 they were probably among the first to manufacture the latest invention - blue transfer-printed earthenware tableware. They were also early exporters of Staffordshire wares, for some of their plates carry the mark of the Dublin retailer James Donovan. The firm traded as John Rogers & Son during the period 1815-42, earning a good reputation among their fellow potters: Ward's Borough of Stoke on Trent (1843) stated that John & George Rogers were 'noted for the excellence of their table-ware.

The plate measures 25.0 cm in diameter.
