Regular price
$2,186.00
Presented is a fantastic set of 12 antique Davenport stone china wide rim soup bowls or soup plates, dating to circa 1810-1815. These bowls 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.
Each bowl is stamped on the reverse with the oldest used Davenport mark, used circa 1805-1820.
Each bowl measures about 9 1/2 inches in diameter. -jm
