Circa: 1982
Manufacturer: Wedgwood China
Lovely plate made as the third issue in Wedgwood China's series of Queen's Ware Christmas Plates featuring paintings by Alan Price. This is marked and distributed as the Christmas plate for 1982 with a central decor featuring Piccadilly Circus in London, England. The design shows the Eros statue in Piccadilly Circus (which is in London's West End) with nearby buildings which the description on the backside says are on Piccadilly and Regent Street. Under the design on the front is marked "Christmas 1982" with the nearby words "Piccadilly Circus London". The backside has a description of the plate, mentions it is part of the "Alan Price Collectors' Edition" and shows the Wedgwood of Etruria & Barlaston logo with Made in England. Surrounding the lowered central decor on the frontside are holly leaves and holly berries before a scalloped rim trimmed in red.
A small round plate, dessert plate size with a diameter of about 8 5/16 inches and sitting 3/4 inch in height. This plate is china or bone china but not porcelain (it is not translucent). We've provided 7 images including close-ups of the central design, the markings on the front and back sides and the descriptive copy on the backside. Please note that the white "hot spots" are lighting reflection from the camera on the glossy surfaces. Also, the image of the full front side of the plate was not shot "head on" since that created a lighting reflection in the center of the plate, so this image looks somewhat "shortened" or narrower than the plate is in person.
Wonderful condition, with no chips, cracks or crazing. There is nothing major wrong at all. If you look ultra closely in very bright light at an angle you may see some very slight surface wear on the topside, but only as some occassional dots or tiny spots and very hard to find. On the backside there are two unglazed spots which look made in manufacture and perhaps some other slight wear but nothing here to worry about.
A great piece to add to any Wedgwood china collection or a collection relating to London, England or the United Kingdom and it's neat locales. Would also make a nice gift for someone travelling to or coming from that country. |
