Art Deco Chinoiserie William Adams pair octagonal plates, Chinese Bird pattern
Pair of octagonal luncheon sized plates from the 1920's showcasing the Chinese Bird pattern, also known as Bird and Basket, in blue printed underglaze with hand-applied enamel colour and ochre rim.
This pattern, introduced by William Adams in 1780 at his Greengates factory, is a replication of a Chinese design and one of the earliest examples of its style in English pottery.
Its popularity endured, with production continuing until 1940. The chinoiserie motif featured a pheasant atop a basket as a central cartouche, with pieces printed in dark blue reminiscent of the original ware.
