About the Item

These are a very good PAIR of early Mason's Ironstone pottery Desert Plates or Dishes in the very decorative Water Lily pattern, produced by the Mason's factory at Lane Delph, Staffordshire, England, circa 1813-1820. The plates are circular with radial ribs and a slightly lobed indented rim. They are relatively heavy for their size which is indicative of the early Mason's wares that had more iron content in the ironstone. They are decorated in one of Mason's most beautiful chinoiserie patterns, called Water Lily, which is also one of their most sought after patterns. The pattern is very richly hand painted, over-glaze in brilliant enamels of cobalt blue, burnt orange, green and puce all in varying shades, possibly over an under-glaze printed outline. These plates have also hand gilded detail, which is another sign of quality. This pattern is illustrated on Page 136 of Mason's Pattern book published by The Mason's Collectors' Club Both bases have the single line impressed mark " MASONS PATENT IRONSTONE CHINA" which is recorded as being one of the earliest impressed factory marks indicating a date of circa 1813-1820 as ironstone was only produced by them from 1813, which is late George 111 period. These plates exhibits the quality and boldness of the hand painting that is only seen on the early Mason's pieces.
