{"product_id":"mason-s-patent-ironstone-orange-ground-exotic-bird-charger-plate-c-1915","title":"Mason’s Patent Ironstone Orange Ground Exotic Bird Charger Plate, c.1915","description":"An English decorative charger plate produced by Mason's, Patent Ironstone China, early 20th century. The plate is decorated with a rich orange ground and a centrally placed exotic bird in deep cobalt blue with extensive gilded detailing, surrounded by dense floral ornament. The surface combines transfer printing with careful hand enamelling and applied gilding, resulting in a vivid and visually striking decorative effect. The softly scalloped, moulded rim with gilt edging reflects the refined quality of Mason's Edwardian display wares, circa 1915.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe pattern derives from late 19th-century Mason's designs and reflects the lasting influence of Japanese art and decorative imports on British taste. Bird-and-flower compositions of this type were especially popular as decorative chargers intended for cabinet or wall display rather than everyday table use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe base bears the Mason's Patent Ironstone mark, the registered design number Rd No 652974 (British Registered Design system, Board of Trade), and a small handwritten factory reference \"c. 1870\", consistent with Mason's internal production and control markings of the period.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom a collecting perspective, this plate is attractive as a colour variant within the same registered form, offering a warmer palette and strong visual presence while retaining excellent quality and documentation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions and weight: diameter 26.8 cm, height 3 cm, weight 552 g.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: ideal condition, with no damage or restoration observed.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease study the accompanying photographs carefully as they form an integral part of this description.
