Description:
English pearlware plate decorated in red, blue, orange, and gilding, which is impressed "WEDGWOOD" on the underside base. The design is an interpretation of an Imari pattern (a style originating in Japan and copied by the Chinese), popular in the early 19th century and being produced by the English porcelain companies, notably at Derby and Worcester. The Wedgwood factory produced a long series of patterns, based on these "japonaiseries" designs being produced on porcelain, primarily on earthenwares (creamware, pearlware and whiteware) although at least 8 of the "Japan" patterns designed for earthenware were transferred to bone china of the first period (1812-1828). The pattern on this plate maybe pattern #26 or #21. The design outline of flowers and leaves are transfer printed in overglaze orange, and further picked out in orange enamel and gold. See teaset (HD 0913) in the same pattern.
