Pattern Category: Places Series: Floral Border Object Type: Wares for Coffee and Tea Dimensions: Description:
This cup plate is another version of the view of the Boston State House by Enoch Wood. It appears to be an abbreviated version of Wood's #1 version, and it eliminates the floral wild rose border, leaving a string border in place. See the many other versions and views of this elegant structure in this database under this name, or "State House, Boston." At least 6 potters used this structure as a view. This view represents the appearance of the State House in 1804, it having been originally designed by the famous architect Bulfinch and built in 1795.
