This truly beautiful pair of exceptional quality early 19th century Spode stone china octagonal shaped cabinet plates are hand painted with Chinese chinoiserie scenes of a highly detailed design in rich bright coloured enamels with fine gilded highlights. The views include multiple people in various scenes. Children with a man who is about to fly a hawk, a building or temple with a lady and child, tree lined rocks with people and a child gathering, a lady viewing the other scenes from a window and at the front hens pecking the ground. This rich central decoration is set within a fabulous floral boarder edged with gilt and black lines. This rare design was most likely a one off private commission as after spending time researching the pattern I could not find another example and the quality is exceptionally good as is the condition with no ware restoration or damage. A superb addition to any collection or home.
