![]() Set of 8 Early English Coalport Plates, 19th Century
item # DARA01JW
These were produced during the John Rose era; the age is circa 1820 to 1840, and may be 1820 to 1825.
The plates are 8 ¾”; eight plates. The porcelain is an early English soft paste. The blank is rococo, with raised flourishes, scrolls and shell-like embellishments, all highlighted in gleaming gold gild. The shell-like designs are colored a creamy yellow. The rim is a bright green ground. Three of the plates have very tiny numbers hand painted in gold next to the foot rim. These tiny gold numbers are a numbering system used by John Rose. The flowers on the rim are all hand painted over the green ground, which was a feature of John Rose, used during the period of 1820 to 1825. Each cluster of flowers is totally different than any other small cluster of flowers, on any specific plate or among all of the plates; they are hand painted by a Coalport artist. The middle of each plate is glazed white. In the center of each plate is a different grouping of flowers.
