FOUR INDUS Exotic Birds Transferware Plates ~ 1885

4 ~ AESTHETIC MOVEMENT BROWN TRANSFERWARE PLATES

INDUS PATTERN

Ridgways Potteries

Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire England

c. 1885

These Victorian aesthetic 6 1/4 inch plates are transfer printed in brown, rare to find this small size.  The pattern features some of the most outrageous looking birds the potteries artist could imagine.  A rim of wildly tropical flowers with hummingbirds.  The well of the plate has aquatic orchid type flowers beneath two most unusual and exotic birds.  A marvel of the imagination.
