An early Victorian mulberry transferware plate by A. Shaw in the Pomona pattern. The center shows classical figures in a landscaped garden with terraces, urns, and distant architecture, printed in a rich manganese-based mulberry tone. The border features alternating vignettes, geometric panels, and scrolling ornament typical of 1840s–1850s Staffordshire design. The shield-form stamp on the reverse confirms A. Shaw manufacture and Pomona pattern attribution.
