Victorian English Cabinet Plate Hand Painted 19th Century

A colorful, delicate, hand painted Victorian cabinet plate that has a design of morning glory flowers on a molded napkin.

 

A molded porcelain plate that has a pattern of a basket weave with fringed napkins on top. A bouquet of hand painted morning glory flowers is the colorful design on the napkins. The plate has a rounded shallow foot. The foot and base are glazed.

 

There is an incised English Registry mark on the base. It is hard to read the mark but it appears to be for March (W) 22 of 1881 (E). The maker’s mark below it is also not very clear but appears to be “EJDR”, which would denote E J D Bodley from Burslem. They produced ceramics between approximately 1875-92. The number 9442 with the number 4 above it is also hand painted in violet near the foot.

 

 

9 3/8” (23.7 cm) diameter x 7/8” (2.2 cm) deep. Weighs 15.9 oz (450 g)

 

 

There is a shallow concussion mark visible on the back that does not extend through to the front. Otherwise, there are no cracks, chips, repairs or breaks. There is color missing on a small leaf. There is slight wear to the surface. The gilding on the mouth rim has very light wear.

 

A colorful plate that is so sentimental and charming. It deserves a place in your cabinet.
