In the last quarter 19th century, the style shifted from floral Nouveau to more austere Eastern influence, and the former curly scrolls and Romantic designs were replaced by asymmetrical elements consistent with China and Japan. The aesthetic movement, so called, utilized simpler images, and this pattern is quintessential Aesthetic.
The flora are simple, large scale, with space and mixed with geometric and angular segments in a decidly asymetrical pattern. Notice the ship, and the Chinese fisherman in one vignette, where the rectangular frame has a densely detailed dwelling in forest. It's pattern on pattern, and very unusual!
For Aesthetic patterns, the subdued hues of brown were favored. For the previous decades, blue, red and green reigned supreme, but the late 19th century saw a change.
The pre-quell to this design were the Far and Near East scenes captured by the major makers of mid 19th century ceramics, such as Adams Clews Davenport Mason Mayer Ridgway and Wedgwood.
The piece measures 8" 1/4" in diameter!
With some minor surface wear, the piece has NO DAMAGE THAT I CAN SEE OR FEEL!
Marked as shown in brown under glaze!
Collectible classic aesthetic transferware patterns are harder to find, so don't miss out!
Thanks for viewing!
