Early 20th Century Wedgwood Thirteen-Piece Service with Platinum Borders
$920.00This exceptional thirteen-piece Wedgwood pottery service combines brilliant color with bold, highly graphic decoration.
Made in England during the early twentieth century, each piece is bordered with orange flowers, fresh green leaves, fine black linework, and bands of mirror-like platinum.
The platinum decoration changes dramatically with the light. At some angles, it reflects like polished silver or a mirror; at others, the same bands appear nearly black.
This shifting surface gives the service an especially lively and sophisticated appearance.
The stylized flowers and leaves are arranged within broad patterned borders framed by crisp vertical linework.
Against the warm cream-colored ground, the vivid orange, green, black, and platinum create a strong geometric effect with a distinctly modern character. Scalloped outlines further animate the design and give each piece an unusually decorative shape.
The service comprises ten round plates, a pair of oval serving dishes, and a round serving bowl. The inclusion of the serving pieces makes the group particularly useful for entertaining, while its bold decoration also gives it considerable impact when displayed.
