A Staffordshire transferware cup plate, ” Poor Richards Way to Wealth.” The motto reads, ” Diligence is the Mother of Good Luck. Now I have a sheep and a cow everybody bids me a good morrow.”
The pattern is illustrated and discussed in “Gifts for Good Children: the History of Children’s China, part I, 1790-1890″ Noel Riley, 1991, pg. 271. The pattern was copied from a picture sheet comprising 24 scenes of town and country life illustrating Franklin’s ‘Lessons for the Young and the Old, on Industry, Temperance, Frugality’ by Robert Dighton, published by Bowles and Carver, London, 1795.”
The scene shows a man with his arm on a cow, conversing with a man on his horse tipping his hat.
Black transfer on an earthenware body, a molded rim and a double daisy border.
