A Rare Wedgwood Bone China Plate with Painted with a 'Common Tern' C.1815

19th century
Description

A rare Wedgwood Bone China Plate c.1815. The central reserve, very finely painted with a 'Common Tern', the border decorated with 3 groups of naturalistically painted feathers.

Previously this style of painting has been attributed to the artist Aaron Steele, owing to an annotation in the Wedgwood pattern books in the 1900's by the then Wedgwood Curator, however this attribution is now thought to be incorrect.

Printed Wedgwood mark in red along with subject title in puce script. 

Condition: Very good with just some light surface wear and a tiny chip to the footrim. A little wear to the gilding around the rim.

FAQs

Introduced in the early 19th century, Wedgwood produced first-period bone china between 1812 and 1822, characterised by hand-painted motifs and gilded decoration.

Regency bone china consists of porcelain clay blended with bone ash, finished with a translucent glaze, enamel painted details, and hand-applied gilt edges.

Authentic early Wedgwood bone china typically features an impressed or stencilled red or gold makers mark alongside precise hand-painted decoration and light glaze crazing.

Display ceramic plates on acrylic or brass stands upon sideboards, arrange them on gallery walls using plate hangers, or integrate them into open shelving.

Dust gently with a soft dry cloth and wash by hand in warm water using mild soap, avoiding abrasive pads or chemicals that wear away gilded borders.
