Country Blue Childs PearlwareMiniature Dinner Set PlateASIATIC BIRDS with FRUITCharles Meigh Staffordshire England 1850This is a very scarce miniature country blue dinner plate dated 1850, originally part of a complete miniature children's dinner service. The tiny round dish measures 2-7/4 inches round with a flat footless base and scalloped rim. Clear blue transfer printed decoration finished with pearlware glaze, extremely well potted, to the standards usually only seen in full-size Staffordshire table wares. Decorated with a Romantic Chinoiserie image of Asiatic pheasants or oriental looking birds and a butterfly on tree branches and an abundant bowl of fruit, bordered with contrasting dotted bead border trim.The plate is unmarked. The pattern, sometimes called Asiatic Pheasant, is documented by Doris Lechler as pattern #223. The pattern is also discussed on page 113 in Milbourn's Understanding Miniature British Pottery & Porcelain .The plate is in fair condition with a tiny darkened back chip and hairline, and no other chips, cracks, or repairs. Stilt marks border transfer skip and other typical manufacturing imperfections, original to the making, consistent with age. A delicate little piece to display in the finest dollhouse, a pocket size work of art! A fine little piece until a more perfect example comes along. Children's read more
