William Gladstone Plate
| This is not a memoriam plate as many think
(Gladstone passed away in 1898).
This plate was produced about 10 years earlier as part of a series which celebrated the achievements of many Victorian figures. The octagonal shaped series was made in good earthenware by Wallis Gimson & Co and this is marked by them - many are not. |
The above information may
not be available
for all potters - if you have information to
help complete the records then I would be
happy to include it.
