In the early 1800s, many potters were moving towards scenes reflecting life farther afield. The 'Oriental' entries from Ridgways include many exotic scenes, such as this one with a man astride a camel. This plate is approx. 10 inches, and is in great antique shape; there is a faint hairline visible on the back (less so at the front bottom) and there is a tiny chip at the front bottom edge. It blends in with the pattern.
