Description
Wedgwood Japonism Aesthetic Dinner Plate Late 19th Century Hiroshige Scarce. Wedgwood went full in on Japonism. The center image reminds one of Hiroshige’s series “Eight Views of Omi”. Using scenes from genuine prints was common for Wedgwood. A noted pattern, “Peacock”, uses them in abundance. Wedgwood Polychrome Transfer Japonesque Dinner Plate Hiroshige Inset Dimensions: 10 ½” in Diameter Condition: This handsome plate is a mess. There is crazing and staining throughout. There is staining around the edge of the bowl. Usually, your seller can figure out what happened to cause damage to a piece. Can’t figure it out here. The transfer images and center inset are in very good condition. Markings: Impressed, Wedgwood 3 unintelligible marks Pattern number in red glaze – illegible. Wedgwood went full in on Japonism. They made numerous different designs, many of which, like this plate showed vignettes of life in Japan. These vignettes look suspiciously like little pieces of Hiroshige’s “53 Stations Along the Tokaido Road”. The center image reminds one of Hiroshige’s series “Eight Views of Omi”. Using scenes from genuine prints was common for Wedgwood. A noted pattern, “Peacock”, uses them in abundance. Respecting the taste of their consumers, the vignettes always seem to be done in pastel hues. See also the Japonesque designs from Powell Bishop Stonier. This is a very scarce pattern which will be useful for a study collection.
