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..
