Summer Hill, Kent

Pattern Category: Heraldic and Commemorative

Series: Medallion Portrait

Alternate Names: Medallion Portrait Series

Object Type: Dinner and Dessert Wares

Description:

This four medallion open vegetable dish has an inserted view of the Erie Canal, specifically, Entrance of the Canal into the Hudson at Albany.  It shows a center view of Summer Hall, Kent.  That view has recently been identified as  Summer Hill, a seat just outside Tenterden, United Kingdom. As a matter of fact, if one looks closely at the mark provided, it appears that the second word is Hill, rather than Hall recited in references..
