Set of 3 Gorgeous 19th Century Art Nouveau Brownfield and Son "Cyprus" Transferware Platter & Plates-RARE-Brown,Blue,Green circa 1888

This Gorgeous 19th Century Brownfield and Son "Cyprus" Transferware Platter with Two Plates is available to you! They are beautifully decorated with bright cobalt blue, green, and brown; the design is very intricate. While there is no chipping (WHAT?!!?) to any of the dishes (there are a few very small flea bites along the edges), there is crazing and browning to the underside which is reflective of age and use, there is a small, tight hairline to the back of the smaller plate. The platter is 15.75" x 11.5"; it has a 7.5" x 5.5" rim in the center (most likely to catch overflow). The plates are 7.25" and 9.5" in diameter respectively. They are all marked "8899" in red. This 150 year old set is stunning, intricately detailed, and very hard to find!! Please message us if you have any questions- Thanks for looking!

Background info from the Transferware Collector's Club: “Cyprus” pattern platter by Brownfield & Sons decorated in shades of gold, rust and cobalt blue. Made c. 1878-1883, it has the potter’s pattern number 8899. The pattern covers the entire surface with exuberant stylized flowers, repeated around the center larger stylized flower. The border has a repeated overlapping leaf motif with small white dots in the spaces. The colors added to the transfer printed design would have been very expensive when they were produced in the early Aesthetic Movement. The pattern is also found printed in monochrome blue. A later version of the pattern by Doulton & Co. has a slightly different center petal design. William Brownfield & Son(s) operated in Cobridge, Staffordshire, from 1850 to 1892.
