Pair of Antique 19th Century Cobalt Blue & Gold Copeland Plates

Porcelain : Antique : Copeland

 

Stunning pair of hand painted 9 ¾- inch cobalt blue plates decorated with rich gold, produced by W. T. Copeland. Under magnification it is evident that these elegant plates were painstakingly hand painted- each iteration of the pattern is unique, indicating a 19th century master artisan individually produced them.

Both plates have a beautiful medallion/snowflake in the center that is surrounded by elaborate diapering, while the rim features a contrasting pattern encircled with a Greek key, and a heavily gilded edge.

Plates bear the Copeland standard printed mark that dates them to circa 1851-85. Condition is very good to excellent.
