This is an antique English soup plate in the Asiatic Pheasant pattern, printed in soft grey. Wedgwood and Company at Tunstall called themselves the original makers of this design, and they printed exactly that claim on the back to set themselves apart from the many Staffordshire potteries copying it. The exotic bird sweeping through peonies and wild roses is the detail people remember.
This plate is in good antique condition. The transfer print is strong and complete across the well and the rim, with the grey color still crisp. There is light overall wear consistent with age and table use, and a scatter of small grey and brown firing specks in the glaze, which is normal for earthenware of this period and not damage. A few faint blue flecks sit near the rim on the reverse, from the making. I see no crazing. Please have Sami confirm there are no chips or hairlines to the rim before this goes live.
This piece is not from Josiah Wedgwood and Sons. Wedgwood and Company was a separate Staffordshire firm, and the two are often confused, so the mark is worth reading closely.
Please review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.
