ATTRACTIVE, HARD-TO-FIND DISH LID
\"BLIND BOY\" ATT TO JOHN &WILLIAM RIDGWAY
This is an attractive, medium-blue dish lid with a highglaze. The central scene shows a rural landscape, in the forefront of which awoman sits with a boy and a dog. The woman is holding the boy\'s hand, and thedog sits at their feet. The border is of flowers. The quality of the engravingand color application is good.
NAME OF PATTERN: Thispattern is usually called \"Blind Boy\" in reference books.
SIZE AT WIDEST ANDDEEPEST POINTS: 8\" x 8\" x4\" (to top of pretty finial). Finial measures 1-1/4\" high.
CONDITION: Thelid is clean and looks hardly used. There do not appear to be use marks. Thereare, however, minor manufacturing flaws, including: (1) Tiny interruption instringing join at roughly 11 o\'clock; and (2) small smudge in blue circa 2:30o\'clock. Otherwise, the piece appears fine, inside and out. Please refer to thephotographs, as they form part of the description.
DATE: While - due to the lack of a mark - thereis no specific date attached to the lid, Godden states that the John &William Ridgway manufactory flourished 1814-circa 1830. Stylistically, thepiece appears to be later in that date range.
MARK: As istypical for lids of this type, there is no mark; however, the pattern isgenerally attributed to John & William Ridgway. I cannot, however,guarantee this maker (although I haven\'t seen another piece in this pattern,marked or unmarked, clearly made by any other manufactory).
