Decorated with deep cobalt blue grounds, rich gilding and finely painted landscape views, the set reflects the quality and craftsmanship for which Victorian Aynsley became renowned.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEach plate depicts a different named British view: Windermere, Bassenthwaite Lake, Loch Leven and Ross Castle. Together they form a complete Named View series celebrating some of the most admired waterside landscapes of Britain and Ireland. The scenes are signed by Birbeck, one of the leading English porcelain painters of his generation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFounded in 1775, Aynsley became one of Staffordshire's leading manufacturers of fine bone china and would later become an official supplier to the British Royal Household. Complete sets are considerably harder to find than individual examples, particularly when all views remain together. The rich cobalt borders and signed painting give the group strong display appeal as well as collector interest.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA rare opportunity to acquire a complete matching set combining signed painting, celebrated landscape views and luxurious Victorian decoration.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMeasurements\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter: 24 cm \/ 9.45″\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 2 cm \/ 0.79″\u003cbr\u003e\nTotal weight: 1491 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003cbr\u003e\nMinor losses to the gilding in some places.
