Plate

Possibly Ralph Stevenson & Williams

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 774

This blue and white transfer-printed earthenware plate possibly made by the Staffordshire firm of Ralph Stevenson & Williams features a view of the City Hotel located on the west side of Broadway between Thames and Cedar Streets in New York. Built in 1794 with five storeys and seventy-eight rooms, the City Hotel was New York's most famous early hotel and perhaps the first American structure built and used solely as a hotel.

Plate, Possibly Ralph Stevenson & Williams (active ca. 1825–27), Earthenware, transfer-printed, British (American market)
