Coalport Porcelain Botanical Plates, Set of Twelve, John Rose, 1820
Located in Downingtown, PA
Coalport Porcelain Botanical Plates, Set of Twelve, John Rose, 1820 English, Circa 1820 The set of twelve Coalport porcelain plates was made at John Rose’s factory at Coalport, Shropshire, each center painted with a different group of garden flowers. Across the set the groups include auriculas, ranunculus, poppies, a hyacinth, pansies, a flamed parrot tulip, crocuses, chrysanthemums, China asters and a wild rose, freely composed in the Continental manner rather than copied as named botanical specimens, so that no two plates repeat. Each center is framed by an underglaze cobalt blue border gilded with a trailing fruiting grapevine, its leaves, tendrils and small bunches of grapes reserved in gold against the deep blue ground, with a wavy gilt line following the inner edge of the blue band and a fine gilt line encircling the well. The gadrooned rim is gilt and relieved at intervals by small molded scroll-and-shell thumbpieces picked out in gold. The reverses are plain. Dimensions: Diameter: 9½ inches (24.1 cm) Marks: Unmarked, as is usual for Coalport porcelain of this period. Provenance: Earle D. Vandekar of Knightsbridge Condition: Good overall, one plate with a hairline. References: Michael Messenger, Coalport 1795–1926 (Antique Collectors’ Club, 1995) Geoffrey Godden, Coalport and Coalbrookdale Porcelains (Barrie & Jenkins, 1970) Historical Context: John Rose founded the Coalport works on the east bank of the Severn about 1796, and by 1820 the factory was among the largest porcelain manufactories in Britain. In that year the Society of Arts awarded Rose its gold medal for his improved feldspar porcelain with a leadless glaze, and William Billingsley and Samuel Walker, lately of Nantgarw, came to Coalport under an agreement with Rose — the years around 1820 mark the high point of Coalport flower...

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.
