12 Bodley Hand Painted Game Bird Porcelain Plates

$2,130.00 $0.00
Presented is a marvelous set of 12 hand painted porcelain plates made by Bodley of England. The plates have an elegant scalloped design with fluting at the rim. Each plate is beautifully hand painted with a different bird including Heron, Wild Turkey, Gannet, Red Grouse, Wood Cock, Widgeon, Crested Grebe, Avocet, Ring Dove, Snipe, Mallard, and Bernicle ( barnacle ) Goose. The painting is very nicely done against a light yellow ground with a peach color around the edges.

The plates were most likely made in the late 1800s.

Each plate is marked on the underside with the name of the bird pictured, Bodley Hanley England for the maker, and Gilman, Collmore & Co. New York for the retailer. All of the plates are signed by the artist, W. Bellis or W. Ballis.

The "Bernicle Goose" plate is cleanly broken into two pieces as you can see in the photographs, but otherwise the set is in excellent condition with only a few spots of minor surface wear near the edges. I believe the broken plate could probably be professionally restored, or certainly glued back together. It might not be usable but it would make a nice cabinet plate.

There are no other cracks, no chips, no crazing, and no repairs. The plates measure 8 3/4 inches in diameter.
