1738: Scarce example of dated Youghal delft
An extremely scarce Youghal delft plate. Decorated with the initials of a
person "M.H" and the year 1738 within three concentric circles. Evidence
suggests that Youghal produced delft from 1738 to 1751. This early
example is one of very few known bearing a date. Many early trials were
made for local families and this is most probably the case with this
particular example. Its design corresponds with two other known plates
which which were produced for Quakers, hence the simplicity of the
design.
