Ridgways Coaching Days Paying Toll Handled Dish England Antique c1890

Antique Ridgways English pottery handled dish from the “Scenes from Coaching Days & Coaching Ways” series, featuring the scene “Paying Toll.” The detailed black transfer depicts travelers and horses at a toll gate, set against the characteristic warm amber-brown glaze and finished with a silver-luster scalloped rim and handles. A particularly attractive piece of English coaching-themed series ware produced by Ridgways with permission from Macmillan & Co.

Good antique condition with expected glaze crazing, light surface wear and age-related wear and tarnishing to the silver-luster trim. The black transfer decoration remains detailed and attractive. No chips or cracks noted.
