Featured Unusual plates

Found these today. Google images throws up lots of gaudy Welsh examples, one of which is very similar in design. I am thinking perhaps more a western take on imari or some other oriental pattern? Blue pigment is in the glaze but red oxide painted on the top. Not sure if this indicates age or if it was done to emulate older pieces. Only clue by way of marks are the numerals on the back of one. 1035. Diameter = 23cm

 

This bowl looks the same, but also has no ID: https://www.ebay.com/itm/255710872648

Hi janet. Thanks for links.

 

These are a type of English imari, but the design is more refined that Gaudy Welsh or Gaudy Dutch. My take from the numbering on the base is c. mid-19th c. Staffordshire.

 

Thanks Mr World.

 

I'm a gal, @Chinoiserie! You can call me Wendy.

 

Oh crikey. How embarrassing! Sorry Wendy.

I could call you Miss World but that sounds even worse

 

I have found a similar example of the pattern attributed to Hollinshead and Kirkham

Yes, some similarity there for sure. Here is info on the factory. One website you should use, if you don't already, is thepotteries.org. All things Staffordshire there!

Thanks. Yes I use the potteries frequently. Find it really good for dating pieces with the history and backstamps.

 

Your avatar is looking a bit saucy komo.
