This matching set of six Victorian earthenware plates displays the classic transferware Chinoiserie landscape in cobalt blue and white, featuring a pagoda motif, a weeping willow, and a geometric border pattern. Each circular piece measures 26 cm in diameter and has a glazed earthenware body stamped with the Dillwyn & Co Swansea maker's mark on the underside. The surfaces show minor surface marks and very small edge scuffs appropriate for age, while remaining free of major chips or cracks. Originating from the mid-nineteenth century, these plates suit placement on a sideboard top or within a cabinet as part of an English Country House display, or for use in dining settings.

FAQs

The Willow Pattern was developed in England during the late 18th century, drawing inspiration from imported Chinese hand-painted porcelain. It depicts a narrative landscape incorporating a pagoda, a bridge with figures, a willow tree, and two birds in flight, becoming one of the most widely produced transferware designs of the 19th century.

Victorian transferware was produced by engraving a design onto a copper plate, which was then printed onto tissue paper using cobalt blue ink. The wet paper transfer was applied directly to the unglazed earthenware body before firing and glazing to seal the image permanently.

Authentic 19th-century pieces often feature minor alignment seams in the transfer print, stilt marks on the underside from kiln firing, and impressed or printed makers marks. The earthenware body typically shows slight natural crazing beneath the clear lead glaze due to age.

These pieces can be mounted on a neutral wall in a gallery grid arrangement to create a graphic focal point, or styled upright on a plate rack in a kitchen. They also complement contemporary table settings when paired with plain modern linen and simple glassware.

Clean antique earthenware manually using warm water and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive pads or dishwashers. Store them with protective felt separators between plates to prevent surface scratching on the glaze.
