Lot 433:
A Varied Collection of Eight Decorative Ceramic Plates and One Shallow Bowl, Late 19th to Early 20th Century
Description
This lot presents a varied collection of eight decorative ceramic plates and one shallow bowl, crafted from both earthenware and porcelain. The pieces feature diverse decorative techniques, including transferware and hand-painted designs. Styles encompass blue and white Chinoiserie-inspired landscapes, intricate multi-colored floral patterns, and specific pictorial scenes. One plate depicts a pastoral landscape with a man fishing, bearing the partial inscription: “I CARE NOT, I TO FISH IN SEAS, FRESH RIVERS BEST DO PLEASE,” a quote likely referencing Izaak Walton’s “The Compleat Angler,” suggesting a late 19th or early 20th-century origin for this piece. Other notable designs include a plate with a woman in period dress holding a tray, a detailed cottage landscape, and an Imari-style floral design. Some examples are fitted with display hangers.
