Wedgwood's 1970 "Christmas in Trafalgar Square" Plate

Collectibles : China, Porcelain : Collector Plates : Wedgwood

 

The detail in this plate is wonderful. I have tried to pick up the minute features, but I'm afraid the photos don't do this plate justice. It is the ever popular blue Wedgwood with white Jasper in bas-relief. "The View of Trafalgar Square" shows the ornate buildings, Christmas tree and decorations, plus the small figures of people enjoying the sights. The Norwegian Christmas tree is hand ornamented in white bas-relief with the entire scene encircled with a border of holly. According to the information on the brochure, the landmarks are Nelson's Column, guarded by Landseer's lions, St. Martin's in the Field's Church and the National Gallery.

This plate measures 8" wide and is free of chips, cracks or damage of any kind. It is a second edition and is a design by Tom Harper. The box and brochure are included.
