a Chinese export oval well and tree platter from the Stagg service, ca 1805, the center painted in brown monochrome with a country house view beneath the gilt initials JS within a gilt wave-edged oval, the cavetto and rim with iron-red, salmon, brown and gold borders of beadwork, zigzags, stars, leaves, dots and dashes within a blue band at the edge; 19" long x 15" wide x 2" high. Two leaf-shaped dishes from this service are illustrated by Howard, D.S., and Wright, C.E., 1984: 113, no C67, who note that this ...service was made for the Stagg family of Staten Island, probably for John Stagg. John and Thomas Stagg were builders; John Stagg submitted bills to the New York City Council in 1771 for a new market and in 1781 for new powder houses. Trinity Church paid Thomas Stagg for improvements in 1786. In the city directory of 1810, a Thomas Stagg Jr. is shown as a merchant at 345 Broadway. It is not clear whether the mansion or the service was built by the Stagg family or whether they resided in it. Eighty-six pieces from this set were sold at Christie's Jan 19, 1986. Condition: Slight wear to lower left of central panel.
