Bread and Butter Plate

1801

Artist/maker unknown, Chinese, for export to the American market

This plate is part of an ornate tea service that belonged to Sarah Logan of Philadelphia and was handed down through the Logan and Cadwalader families. The service was augmented in the early nineteenth century with Chinese-made bread and butter plates, including this one, decorated with the same pattern of the earlier, English wares.
