About the Item

This is a harlequin set of six Mason's Ironstone dinner plates, all dating to the earliest English Georgian period, between 1813 and 1820. All the dinner plates are circular with a notched rim and of the same nominal size of about 9.5 inches diameter. All plates carry the straight line impressed mark: "Masons Patent Ironstone China", dating them to the earliest Mason's period, circa 1813-1820. We have put this set together as they are all the same nominal age and shape and have patterns with the dominant colors of cobalt blue and burnt orange in varying shades. Some have different patterns and base marks as follows; Top row left and right, bottom row left and right: Japan basket gilded pattern. (Though these plates have the same pattern, they are individually different due to the variations in the hand painted detail). Top row middle: Jardinière pattern, gilded Bottom row middle: Golden Peacock, gilded All the plates have typical bold hand enameling, some over a printed outline and all with gilding to various levels. All patterns are fully documented and listed in "A Guide to Mason's Patent Ironstone Patterns, circa 1813-1848, published by The Mason's Collectors' Club. The plates are all circular and nominally the same diameter though the exact shape varies slightly as one would expect with plates made at different times, but all about 200 (+) years old. Please see images. In summary, a beautiful set of dinner plates for use or display. Notes: 1) If you require a larger set of Dinner Plates, we also have various other plates listed, either as singles or as pairs in various patterns but of the same nominal age and shape. 2) These early Mason's dinner plates, in good condition, are now becoming much more difficult to find!!
