Set of 14 Antique Wedgwood Creamware Soup Plates with Grapevine Border 1855–1859

Wedgwood made this lovely set of fourteen creamware soup plates in England between 1855 and 1859. The border features a continuous grapevine motif with clusters of red and purple grapes, scrolling tendrils, and green leaves. The design was transfer-printed and then colored by hand-applied coloring with enamel, a technique characteristic of mid-19th-century Wedgwood. Narrow brown enamel bands frame the border, adding a crisp finish to the design. The plates are potted in a warm-toned light creamware body typical of Wedgwood’s production in this period.
