Aesthetic Period Minton Porcelain Dessert Plate Japanese Style Gilt Sun & Butterflies 1875

19th century
For Sale by The Fancy Fox
Description

A fine Minton bone china porcelain dessert plate decorated in stunning Japanese style, with a central gilded sun with textured background, reserving a moth or butterfly, painted naturalistically in muted enamels. A stylised design radiates from this central sun, dot printed outline and hand enamelled, with bamboo leaves and other carefully placed foliate sprays and flowering sprig. A scattering of naturalistically coloured butterflies and a wasp flit about the scene. Finished with a gilt rim and an inner decorative band showcasing Minton's patented acid gilding, with a subtle Greek key and dot design. Impressed factory mark and date cypher appears to be for 1875. Pattern number G2275.

It measures 23cm (9 1/16") wide.

In excellent condition with no damage, repair or restoration and very minor handling wear.

Declaration

The Fancy Fox has dated this Minton Aesthetic Porcelain Plate to the Victorian era.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Aesthetic Movement porcelain is characterised by asymmetric compositions, naturalistic flora and fauna, and heavy influences from Japanese decorative arts, contrasting with the dense ornamentation of earlier Victorian design.

High-grade bone china or soft-paste porcelain was finished with clear glaze, overglaze enamel decoration, and hand-applied gilding using liquid gold or gold leaf.

Authentic pieces typically feature impressed or printed Minton maker marks, year ciphers impressed into the porcelain body, and finely executed hand-painted detailing.

Cabinet plates can be mounted on a neutral wall using wire hangers, displayed upright on a plate stand within a glazed cabinet, or integrated into a gallery wall feature.

Porcelain with delicate gilding should be cleaned with lukewarm water and mild washing-up liquid using a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive pads, chemical cleaners, or submersion.
