Eton Aesthetic Movement Bird \u0026 Blossom Plate | Staffordshire England c. 1880s","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis beautiful Eton pattern plate by Moore \u0026amp; Co. of Staffordshire, England is a particularly charming example of the Aesthetic Movement, when Japanese-inspired design was influencing some of England’s most interesting pottery. Two beautifully detailed birds flutter among flowering branches laden with delicate pink blossoms and buds, while a little butterfly makes its appearance below. The asymmetrical composition, wonderfully restrained colors, and exquisite botanical detailing make this so much more than an ordinary antique plate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDating to the late 19th century, this is exactly the sort of English transferware I love finding. There’s an almost painterly quality to the decoration, with soft yellows, muted pinks, earthy browns, and beautifully articulated feathers and branches. The naturally developed crazing adds another layer of antique character without distracting from the design. Equally lovely displayed on a wall, incorporated into a collection of English Aesthetic Movement pottery, or resting on a favorite piece of furniture. And that little butterfly? A delightful finishing touch!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e· Maker: Moore \u0026amp; Co., Staffordshire, England\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e· Pattern: Eton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e· Period: Late Victorian, circa 1880s\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e· Style: Aesthetic Movement, Japanese-influenced botanical design\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e· Material: Glazed earthenware with multicolored transfer decoration\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e· Decoration: Birds, flowering branches, blossoms, buds, and butterfly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e· Markings: Eton ribbon backstamp with M \u0026amp; Co. initials\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e· Diameter: 9½”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e· Condition: No chips or cracks.
