Pair Antique Wedgwood & Co. Plates in "Processional Elephant and Howdah" Pattern

About the Item

This pair of antique English dishes shows a fabulous bird's eye view of an elephant in an imaginary setting. Two figures ride an elephant through this exotic landscape. Along a winding road, we see large fruit trees, fenced gardens, a ziggurat, and pagodas. Made circa 1800, these octagonal dishes are made of pearl-glazed creamware. The pattern is printed in brown with overglaze enamel in orange, yellow, green, and blue. The dishes are unmarked but made by Wedgwood & Co. in the "Processional Elephant and Howdah" pattern. Dimensions: 9 inches diameter x 1 inch height Condition: Excellent. Price: $330 for the pair of dishes *References: Holdaway, Minnie. The Wares of Ralph Wedgwood.
