A pair of Victorian black transferware butter pats, each decorated with a different engraved-style scene in the manner typical of mid-Victorian English transfer printing. One dish shows an armored knight on horseback in a rocky landscape with a castle in the distance; the other shows a woman in period dress with a small child at a doorway. The black banding on the rim is clean and graphic, and the scenes have the fine crosshatched quality of illustration work from the 1860s to 1880s. Unmarked on the bases. These work as salts, ring dishes, or a small styled vignette on a breakfast tray or bar cart.
Both dishes are in antique condition consistent with age and use. The equestrian dish has a chip to the foot rim on the reverse, visible on the left side when viewing the dish from the back; a small portion of this chip is also visible from the front along the left edge. The woman-with-child dish has brown staining and discoloration inside the well, most concentrated toward one side. Both dishes show light surface wear and minor age-related marks to the bases. The transfer decoration on both is intact and legible.
