Circa 1820s: One of the tougher dinner plate scenes to find from the storied Englsih pottery firm Enoch Wood & Sons' popular Shell Border series is the City of Albany, State of New York view. This interesting scene of New York's state capitol portrays cattle in the foreground with a myriad of boats in the Hudson River behind them and an urban cityscape of Albany's vast skyline in the background. Made expressly for the American market, this handsome dark blue 10" plate displays well and is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs and moderate light utensil marks on the face.
