Set of Four Gaudy Dutch 'War Bonnet ' Pattern Plates
Located in West Palm Beach, FL
Four Gaudy Dutch 'War Bonnet' Pattern Plates
8.25 inches in diameter
The 'War Bonnet' pattern was produced between 1810 and 1850 in England, primarily in the Staffordshire region. These plates were made for the American market, where they gained popularity among the Pennsylvania Dutch. The term 'War Bonnet' likely refers to the central design motif, which resembles a Native American war bonnet, reflecting early American cultural influences. A "war bonnet" refers to a traditional headdress worn by some Native American tribes, most notably the Plains Indians such as the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Crow. These headdresses are often made of feathers (typically eagle feathers), beads, and other decorative elements, and they carry deep cultural, spiritual, and symbolic significance. The significance of the War Bonnet
Symbol of Honor: War bonnets were worn by respected leaders, warriors, and elders who had earned them through acts of bravery, leadership, or service to their community.
Spiritual Importance: The feathers, especially eagle feathers, are considered sacred and represent a connection to the spiritual world.
Ceremonial Use: War bonnets were used in various ceremonies, dances, and important cultural events rather than for everyday wear.
Status and Achievement: Each feather in a war bonnet was typically earned for a specific act of courage or accomplishment.
The 'War Bonnet' pattern features a central design resembling a feathered headdress or floral basket, surrounded by vibrant floral elements.
Color Palette: Common colors include cobalt blue, iron red, and green, with occasional yellow highlights. These colors were applied using overglaze enamels. Like other Gaudy Dutch patterns...

Antique and Vintage Dinner Plates
Set the mood when you’re setting the table. The right antique and vintage dinner plates for the meals in your home can truly elevate the dining experience.
We haven’t had our own plate at dinner for very long. It wasn’t until the middle of the 19th century in Europe that individual dinner plates had become the norm, replacing the platters that diners had shared before them. Innovations at the dining table are believed to have been introduced by Italian noblewoman Catherine de’ Medici, who, when she married King Henry II of France in 1533, brought with her decorative table adornments for meals and fine tableware such as silver forks, replacing the fingers and knives utilized during dinner before her arrival. Italy was a bit faster on table settings, and, thanks to Catherine, tableware such as dinner plates would also replace the wooden trenchers and flat slabs of days-old bread that preceded them.
Today, while enthusiasts of mid-century modern furnishings might pine for vintage mismatched dinner plates — a mix of old and new can be refreshing — presenting ceramic vessels, glassware and decorative centerpieces that matched was once actually part of the point as setting the table became more refined during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. And as Fornasetti dinner plates and Chinese porcelain tableware have long held weight as collector’s items and status symbols, your dinner dishes haven’t ever really been merely functional. From antique metal dishes and ornamental earthenware designed by celebrated English ceramics makers Wedgwood, dinner plates are statement-making works that bring elegance and likely stir conversation at your table.
Entertaining is an art form, and the kitchen bar island and dining room table in your space are cherished gathering places where families and friends convene and grow closer over good meals. Browse an extensive collection of antique and vintage dinner plates to pair with these important events today on 1stDibs.
