A plate printed in blue, plum, green, black, and pink. In the centre a design of a lion led by a child, while lions and lambs lie peacefully at their feet. Above, the words, “Peace on Earth,” surmounted by a dove with olive branch. Below, the words, “Give us this day our daily Bread.” The border is a design of wheat sheaves and fruit, broken at the top of the plate by an eye and a Bible open at Isaiah. Mark on back, “Millennium.” One is shown on page 24. Mitchell & Freeman’s Warehouse. See No. 154. 195. Mount Vernon. This view of Mount Vernon is in black on a cup and saucer of white china. It is the front view of the house, and in the foreground a negro is leading a prancing white horse. At the top is this inscription, “Mount Vernon, Seat of the late Gen’l Washington.” Inside the cup is a dotted border. It has no stamp or mark of maker. I have also seen this print upon a cup and saucer of cream-colored Liverpool ware. 196. Mount Vernon. Landscape in dark blue. Marked “Mount Vernon nr Washington. J. & W. Ridgway.” 197. Mount Vernon. Dark blue plate with Mount Vernon in foreground and city of Washington in background. Mark, “View of Washington from Mt. Vernon.” Geographical and topographical laws were naught to English potters. 198. Mount Vernon. Stamped in pink. In the centre a group of visitors at a monument; the border a good floral design. On the back of plate the mark, “Virginia.” Mount Video. See No. 176 _et seq._ 199. Nahant. No. 1. Stubbs. [Illustration: Nahant Plate.] This plate is ten inches in diameter, of a rich dark blue color, and is very handsome—as are all the plates with its border, a scroll containing alternate eagles and roses. In the centre is a view of the Nahant Hotel, with the ocean and rocks in the foreground. On one rock are a dog, and a man firing a gun; on a second, two women fishing; on a third, a man and woman walking. On the right of the foreground is an old-fashioned curricle with two horses harnessed tandem. On the back of the plate is an oval blue stamp with the words, “Nahant Hotel near Boston.” One of these plates is here shown. This hotel was built of stone in the year 1818, by the Hon. Edward H. Robbins, at a cost of sixty thousand dollars. It was enlarged by a wooden addition until it contained three hundred rooms. It was burnt on September 12, 1861, and has never been rebuilt. The view on the plate shows only the old stone part of the hotel. It has been suggested that these plates were decorated for and used in the hotel. There is no evidence to prove this, nor is it probable. I have never seen any pieces save plates with this design. 200. Nahant. No. 2. R. S. W. Same view of the hotel at Nahant, with a large tree in the foreground at the left, and no curricle. The border is the oak leaf and acorn design, shown on page 361; the stamp on the back, “Nahant Hotel nr Boston R. S. W.” The plates bearing this design are about an inch less in diameter than the ones described in No. 199.
