Regular price
$180.00
Presented is an excellent quality pair of antique Davenport stone china oval dishes, dating to circa 1815-1820. These dishes are made in the highly sought after Flying Bird pattern, which is a vibrant and colorful Chinoiserie pattern depicting a long tailed bird in flight surrounded by stunning flowers and foliage. The palette is a very eye-catching array of blues, greens, orange, purple and pink shades, with fine gold gilt detailing. This pattern would later be produced by Mason's Ironstone as well as other fine English makers. We have many additional pieces in this pattern from the same estate including some particularly rare examples, which you can find by searching “Flying Bird” in our store.
These dishes are in excellent condition, particularly considering age. There are some minor surface abrasions and small spots of wear/loss to the paint, but nothing of any significance. There are no chips, no cracks, no breaks, and no repairs.
Each dish is stamped on the reverse with the oldest used Davenport mark, used circa 1805-1820. One dish even has its original Shreve Crump & Low Co retail sticker.
Each dish measures about 6 3/4 by 5 1/4 inches, LxW. -jm
