This very heavy pottery advertising plate is for F. B. Nicol & Co. “Steam Boat & Hotel Furnishers” at 4 Great Jones Street, New York (another name for E. 3rd Street in Manhattan, between Broadway and the Bowery). F.B. Nicols provided China, stone ware, glass, cutlery, etc. decorated to order. I could not find much information about them, except that they were in business between 1860 and 1880. This plate is 8 ½” in diameter and includes a broad blue edge band decorated with gold stars. The lettering is done in black and red, and there is a band of excised “X’s” on the around the underside of the plate. No maker’s mark. The plate is in good condition: no structural damage but there is light to moderate wear to the overglaze decoration (I hope the decorated wares they provided to their customers held-up better!) An interesting piece of early advertising and steam boat history!
