Rare Set 10 c1815 English Georgian Davenport Flying Bird 9.5" Luncheon Plates
Regular price
$1,884.00
Presented is a fantastic set of 10 antique Davenport stone china plates, dating to circa 1810-1815. These plates 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.
This set is in excellent condition, particularly considering age. There are some surface abrasions here and there, and the occasional minor loss to the paint or wear to the gilding, but nothing of any significance. There are no chips, no cracks, no breaks, and no repairs. This set is being sold and valued as a set of ten, but we are including two free bonus plates that came to us as part of the same lot, one with a repaired rim chip and one with a hairline across the middle (shown in the sixth and seventh photographs).
Each plate is stamped on the reverse with the oldest used Davenport mark, used circa 1805-1820.
Each plate measures about 9 1/2 inches in diameter. -jm
