Doulton Burslem Spanish Ware painted plate. Item 4538.

This porcelain plate from Doulton Burslem is from Doulton’s “Spanish Ware” range with hand painted poppies outlined in gold on a pink ground with a painted background-poppies were a very popular Art Nouveau motif. This pattern is C 1392. This type of ware was developed by John Slater and, although it was considered a new and unusual decoration for the time, it remained popular from the early 1880’s into the early 1900’s. “Spanish Ware” has been described by Desmond Eyles in his book “The Doulton Burslem Wares” as “featuring exceedingly fine raised gold outline traceries of flowers, leaves, arabesques and other motifs, combined with on-glaze enamel painting and raised paste, often on a vellum or ivory ground”. This plate measures 228 mm (9 inches) in diameter and stands 20 mm (.75 of an inch) high. It has some very minor rubbing of the gilding to the rim, and a shallow 10 mm (3/8ths of an inch) long chip to the edge, as can be seen in the main photo at 3.30 o’clock, if you consider the the plate as a clock face. It dates from the period 1884-90.
