Victorian Exotic Fruit Engraved Serving Plate C1850

19th century
For Sale by Exhibit Antiques
Description

Description

A finely engraved mid-19th-century engraved serving plate dating to c1850.

It has been engraved around the rim with a fruiting vine and then in the central depression on the underside, we have engraved pomegranates surrounding a large central strawberry (which when turned also looks like a pineapple). Polished ponil.

The engravings would suggest that the plate was used for serving exotic fruits in the centre of the table. A very unusual example and rare in the respect that we have never seen one before.

FAQs

Victorian engraved glass plates from around 1850 were typically crafted from high-quality lead crystal or clear glass and decorated using copper-wheel engraving techniques. Popularised during the mid-Victorian era, these pieces often featured botanical motifs, fruit patterns, and elaborate foliage inspired by exotic flora.

Artisans utilised copper wheels of various sizes dressed with abrasive emery powder and oil to manually cut detailed patterns into the glass surface. This technique allowed for varying depth and texture, producing soft, matte-engraved details alongside polished highlights.

Authentic nineteenth-century engraved glass usually exhibits light irregular wear on the base, a hand-finished or ground pontil mark, and minor variations in the depth of the engraving indicative of handcraftsmanship. The glass often possesses a distinct weight and clarity characteristic of lead glass from the period.

An antique engraved glass dish can be displayed on a plate stand on a sideboard, incorporated into a wall plate display, or used as an elegant table accent to hold small decorative items.

Hand wash Victorian glass in lukewarm water using mild liquid soap and a soft cloth, avoiding sudden temperature changes that could cause thermal shock. Never place antique glass in a dishwasher or use abrasive scrubbers that might scratch the delicate surface engraving.
