Vintage (1960s) Ridgway Heritage Green Multicolor Rideau Canal Bytown transferware bread-and-butter, dessert, or side plate. Ridgway's Heritage pattern merged Canadian history with colorful dinnerware. Manufactured during the 1960's, the pieces feature hand-applied colors over an olive green transfer. The Heritage pattern itself was adapted from a series of sketches and watercolors by William Bartlett, a young (at that time!) English artist. From June through November of 1838, Bartlett traveled through eastern Canada creating his artwork. This art was later engraved onto steel plates for mass printing. Images from Bartletts journey were published as "Canadian Scenery Illustrated", an 1842 collection featuring over one hundred of Bartlett's steel engravings. This plate is in great condition. The front of the plate is flawless. The back of the plate has a few marks on it from manufacturing. It measures 6 7/8 inches.
