This uncommon pair of Wedgwood saucers have a wonderfully light creamware body, feature highly detailed hand painted decoration and are the perfect items for a Wedgwood collector. There is a thin, shallow 1” line in the glaze on the face of the two leaf saucer it is not visible on the underside. The hand painted design is bright and crisp, with some minor surface abrasion to the hand painted leaf designs and some very minor flakes to the burnt orange rims - clearly seen in our images. Measuring: Diameter 6” (15 cm), height 7/8” (2.5 cm).Ĭondition: Both saucers are in very good condition for their vast age. Each piece shown is from The Barbara and Hensleigh Wedgwood Collection, and a gift of Barbara Wedgwood. The design was influenced by the earlier naturalistic Meissen pieces painted by Johann Gottfried Klinger in the mid to early 18th century.īoth pieces feature the impressed “WEDGWOOD” mark on the underside and also the burnt orange painters marks to the base.įor an example of identical pieces in this pattern please visit the Dallas Museum of Art online collection and search Accession Number (1995.187.4) (1995.187.3.A-B) (1995.187.1.A-B) (1995.187.5) (1995.187.6.A-B) (1995.187.2.A-B) (1995.187.7).
