A beautiful group of 7 plates produced by Cauldon in England. The artwork of the birds is excellent, and the color is bright and fresh. These are marked on the back "Cauldon" and "England". According to Kovel’s the Cauldon name was used this way from 1890 to 1905.
There is what appears to be a pattern number on the back of each plate: the letter V over the number 4589.
There are also a number of small, impressed stamps on the bottom of the plates. Most are hard to read since there is no color. One shows an A and C flanking some kind of tiny graphic, maybe a crown. Another stamped mark that appears on all the plates is the word CAULDON, usually very faint. Several of the plates also have a three letter mark in reverse. Examples are B6C and E6C.
Each plate design has a design number on the back. This group of seven consists of No. 2 (1), No. 3 (1), No. 6 (1), No. 7 (2) and No. 11 (2). So there are two plates each for No. 7 and No. 11.
Condition is very good. Very fresh color, just modest crazing and modest stains on a few of the plates. Three of the plates have miniscule chips on the back of the rim. These do not show and can barely be felt. The plates look absolutely beautiful on the wall or on stands.
