An unusual antique white ironstone scale plate made for Josiah Fisher & Son of Banham, Norfolk, featuring a beautifully detailed black transfer of Lady Justice holding her scales above the company name.

Originally made for use with commercial weighing scales, the plate has a practical rectangular form with rounded corners and a raised back edge. The crisp monochrome transfer and simple white ironstone make it particularly decorative, while the named local retailer adds further interest as a piece of historic shop and trade ware.

Dating to the Edwardian period, circa 1900–1910, this is a lovely example of early 20th-century commercial kitchenalia and would display beautifully in a kitchen, pantry or collection of antique shop fittings.

Condition

Very good antique condition. The white glazed surface remains bright and the black Lady Justice transfer is exceptionally clear and well defined. There are light surface marks, occasional small spots and minor age-related wear consistent with its original commercial use. The reverse has faint impressed/printed factory marks and a small partial black mark near one corner.
