Porcelain : Antique : Flow Blue : English : Staffordshire : W. Adams & Co : Fairy Villas

 

A truly spectacular antique flow blue plate from the English Manufacturer W. Adams & Co. In the "Fairy Villas" Pattern, this 9" plate is heavily decorated in a bright cobalt blue on a clear white background. The central scene is one of a tranquil garden tea house beside a lake. A charming Oriental fellow fishes as a sailboat glides by. A deep border of peonies and floral cartouche surround the scene and a graceful scalloped edge completes the plate. This pattern displays beautifully because it is a balanced composition with dense pattern and bright color. Altogether breathtaking! Excellent condition. Faint age appropriate crazing. One tiny glaze pop on front. (see pic) Two tiny and shallow chips on back of rim. Does not show at front. (in fact, hard to see at all) No cracks or repairs. Some light staining on back. Clearly back stamped with pattern and maker. A wonderful piece in a highly coveted pattern!
