This was purchased at the same time as my interesting chelsea collection. Its massive by comparison. Same terracotta type. At first I thought it was Venice and probably unrelated but now bot sure of it could be Westminster. Could it be chelsea? Sorry no photo of rear but plain terracotta and if I remember rightly JB or JR on reverse (I can find out). Some repaired damage too.

I had no idea Chelsea decoration could be at that level. Much higher quality than anything I have seen before.

I met up with a very kind member of this forum who seems in agreement the big london scene plate is chelsea. This is the only mark on the reverse PR...

Because it doesn't have any of the usual Chelsea marks, and the clay is different, I'll split the plate off into a separate thread and move to the ID My Pottery section

Very large plate moved from the Chelsea Pottery section as it does not have any onvious Chelsea marks but was purchased from a single owner with nothing but early Chelsea... only mark on reverse is PR. Any help greatly appreciated

The clay above looks lighter than in reality. Normal red really

Chelsea used earthenware. Which is a much redder clay than this one, because of the iron content in the clay. It looks like a city scape. But it does not look much like a London skyline from the Thames. A European city? Paris?

There are several Chelsea pieces with pale clay on the main thread, but no-one with the initials PR so far. I don't think we can say for certain it was made at Chelsea Pottery, and the view may not be London, but the potter might have trained there
