Most awesome shard George washington

[RelicDude]

I'm not one to take extremely broken pieces but this takes the cake. It's a piece of transferware but it has George Washington lady justice and what I think are the colonies. Anyone ever dig a complete one or know the makers mark? Thanks for the help

Wowwww! Definitely one I would take!

Very nice. I bring shards home all the time. Not sure why but I think its for my own inspiration. It means the stuff is in there somewhere.

Haha.....I'm in the same boat. Especially this year. Have found so many keeper shards this year. That transferware is a nice piece. Hope you figure it out.

Do I see the word "warranted" and a crown emblem?

I think it does say warranted and there is a crown. Which leads me to believe it's British.

Wow that's definitely the same plate. That thing is gorgeous. Any ideas on age.

All I could find is the pic online but my best guess would be 1820 to 1860 not in any books I can find

Doing a bit of research and checking states Kentucky was 15th state in 1792 Tennessee was next in 1796 so that may date this to same range
