AESTHETIC BROWN TRANSFERWARE PLATE

JAPAN PATTERN

Gildea and Walker Potteries ~ Late Mayers

Tunstall, Staffordshire England  ~  c. 1883

This 8 1/4 " Victorian aesthetic movement plate is transfer printed in chocolate brown with highlights in gold lustre.

The pattern features geometric designs along the outer rim surrounding  panels filled with Japanesque Camellia and jasmine flowers and fruit filled branches of oriental plums.  The central image has Lotus and Waterlily buds and flowers and their exciting leaves shimmering in the water.  The pottery of Gildea and Walker produced some of the most elegant ceramics of the aesthetic movement.  This pattern is the cream of the crop and a very desirable pattern.  

Condition is great, never used.  No chips, no cracks, no hairlines and no repairs.
