Minton Cream Soup and Underliner Plate in the Eloise Pattern 1926

Porcelain

 

This lovely pattern is called "Eloise" and was introduced in 1926. The brown underglaze Minton's mark attests to this and pins it down further to Aug. 3rd and also lists the registry and U.S.patent number and the hand painted artist's mark.

The pattern is distinctly art deco; the loose flowing designs of the Victorian and Art Nouveau periods have been corralled into a neat symmetrical design with the multicolored florals interspersed with classic motifs on the banding. Gone are the romantic pastels; the brightly colored stylized florals give us a preview of the designs soon to come in the 30's and 40's. The transfers rest on a backdrop of pale yellow and are enhanced with small hand painted dots of dark orange enamel. The exterior of the bowl was left un-colored and is graced with a simple band and leaf design.

This bone china from England is more substantial than European porcelain with some translucency but surprisingly heavy. The bowl diameter is 4 1/2" and the dimension across the handles is about 6 1/2". The liner plate is slightly over 6" in diameter.

The price is for one set, I have 3 two piece sets with no chips, cracks or crazing, one extra bowl with a small chip and tight hairline (fully usable) and 3 extra liner plates, all in nice condition. Multiple purchases will bring the price down. The shipping rate shown is based on one set.. please inquire.
