A
Pair of Wedgwood Queen's Ware
Armorial Soup Plates, c.1778. |
A
very decorative and superbly painted pair of Wedgwood
Queen's Ware ( Creamware ) soup dishes. The centre
painted with the arms of Sir John Honywood and his wife,
The Honorable Francis Courtenay, who were married in
1778. The family crest, a wolfs head, is painted
on the rim, together with a very elaborate border
pattern. The service must have been very costly to
produce.
|
| Condition Unfortunately
both dishes have suffered damage, having broken sections
of the rim re-stuck. The one dish also has a further
hairline and a star crack to the centre. Nonetheless
still a very attractive pair of Armorial plates for display.

taken.
