Wedgwood 10 English Dessert Plates Design "Burleigh" Blue Transferware Decor
About the Item
We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects.
An exceptional set of 10 English semi-porcelain dessert plates; on the white background there are soft and refined light blue and blue decorations by the transferware method, on the rim, there are also delicate white enamel designs in relief. The mark on the back tells us exactly that the item was produced between 1914 and 1915 in Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire by the famous Wedgwood firm. Transferware work, which was very fashionable in the Victorian period, refers to glazed and decorated pottery with a specific treatment that they produced in Staffordshire England; they used copper plates on which the design was engraved, the plate was then inked and the design transferred to a special fabric that was later placed on the pottery (plates, trays, tureens, etc.) which was glazed and fired; the first to use this printing process were John Sadler and Guy Green of Liverpool in 1756. If we look at ceramics made by this method we will notice that the designs are not perfect and often the ink is smudged; this is their characteristic. A hand-painted plate service could afford few English families, with this method even middle-class families could have a decorated plate service. Josiah Wedgwood opened his porcelain company in 1759 at Burslem in Staffordshire, he was immediately extraordinarily successful with his first production of Creamware a beautiful and durable pottery of fine earthenware and stoneware (Jasper, Queen's Ware, and Black Basalt); previously, Staffordshire was known only for its mediocre and very utilitarian pottery, used only locally. In the 1800s Wedgwood perfected Bone China and succeeded in developing a superior quality: Fine Bone China This type of porcelain would find a place on the tables of the powerful halfway around the world: one of the best-known examples is the Wedgwood table service that Theodore Roosevelt wanted for the White House. Wedgwood remains one of Staffordshire's largest pottery manufacturers, "a company that has done more to spread knowledge and enhance the reputation of British ceramic art than any other manufacturer. "A family curiosity about Josiah Wedgwood: his daughter, Susannah was the mother of evolutionary scientist Charles Darwin. Measurements diameter cm.18, height cm.2. All plates are in good condition. Time and use have created a craquelé effect on some plates that makes the item even more charming and alluring.

Wedgwood
Arguably the most celebrated of all English ceramics makers, Wedgwood was founded in 1759 by potter Josiah Wedgwood (1730–95) in Staffordshire, which was home at one time to hundreds of pottery workshops. The company is famed for its Jasperware — molded neoclassical stoneware vases, plates and other pieces inspired by ancient cameo glass, featuring white figures, scenes and decorative elements set in relief on a matte-colored background. The best-known background hue is light blue, but Wedgwood’s iconic silhouettes also appear on green, lilac, yellow, black and even white grounds. Some antique Wedgwood dinnerware pieces and other items feature three or more colors.
The Wedgwood firm first came to prominence for its tableware, which quickly gained favor in aristocratic households throughout Britain and Europe. In 1765, Wedgwood was commissioned to create a cream-colored earthenware service for Queen Charlotte, consort of King George III. The queen was so thrilled with her new china that Wedgwood was given permission to call himself “Potter to Her Majesty,” and the decorative style became known as Queen’s Ware.
Not to be outdone, Catherine the Great of Russia commissioned her own set of Wedgwood china in 1773. Nearly 200 years later, the firm created a 1,200-piece service for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. In recent years, leading designers including Jasper Conran and Vera Wang have collaborated with Wedgwood — in the tradition of such distinguished 18th-century artists such as the painter George Stubbs and metalsmith Matthew Boulton.
From plates and other dinnerware to decorative items like urns, cachepots and candlesticks, Wedgwood designs lend a traditional air to Anglophile interiors. And even if you have to make your own tea, you may find it comforting to sip it from a delicate cup that was manufactured in the same Stoke-on-Trent kiln that produced Her Majesty’s tea service. Be sure to keep your pinky raised.

Lovely and refined English oval ceramic tray; elegant and rich blue decorations have been executed on the white background using the transferware method; the mark on the back tells us exactly that the object was produced by the Clementson Brothers LTD Company between 1901 and 1913 at the Phoenix factory in Shelton, the company made a wide range of objects with this decoration called "Delf" ( see mark no.909 p.150 of "Encyclopaedia of British Pottery and Porcelain Mark").

The Severn River is the longest river in the United Kingdom (350 km), rising in Wales and flowing into the Bristol Channel; Bridgnorth is an ancient Saxon settlement; observing the view of the river and town from his castle at Bridgnorth King Charles I Stuart (1600-1649) said "the most beautiful sight in all my kingdom".
