Plate
This blue and white transfer-printed earthenware soup plate made by the Staffordshire firm of Enoch Wood & Sons features a view of Pine Orchard House, also known as the Catskill Mountain House, an historic inn located about twelve miles southwest of Catskill, New York. Commissioned by a group of businessmen incorporated as the Catskill Mountain Association in 1823, the inn was constructed from 1823 to 1824 by two local craftsmen, Wells Finch and Samuel Chichester. World-renowned for its dramatic setting on Pine Orchard Plateau over two thousand feet above the Hudson River, the inn was the first successful mountain resort in America.
