6 Handsome Bone China Dinner Plates from Wedgwood’s greatly admired Gold Damask collection. When relatives leased him the Ivy House in Burslem in 1759, Josiah Wedgwood started his own pottery business. His new venture was helped by his marriage to a distant cousin, Sarah, who brought a substantial dowry with her. In 1765, Wedgwood created a new earthenware form, Queenss Ware. In 1766, he developed new wares Basalt and Jasper Ware, perhaps his most famous creation. He was elected a member of The Royal Society in 1783. Today, the Wedgwood Prestige Collection sells replicas of some of the original designs, in addition to modern neo-classical style Jasperware. In 1812, Wedgwood produced their own bone china, which, although not successful at first, became an important part of an extremely successful business. The skill and artistry that is apparent in every detail of the plates bears eloquent testimony to the legendary quality of the Wedgwood potters. Stunning Gold Damask decoration features intricate flowers and foliage in lavish gold. Gilt finish to the plate rims is bright and intact. The plates, which measure 10.75/27.5cms in diameter, are in excellent condition, with no chips, cracks or crazing, and produce that wonderfully satisfying’PING'; ringing like a bell!!
