Primavesi \u0026 Sons Cardiff Transferware Plate - Green Chinoiserie - Broken Beauty","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a gorgeous piece of Welsh transferware from F. Primavesi \u0026amp; Sons in Cardiff, circa 1850. That green Chinoiserie scene with the pagoda, willow tree, and ornate floral border? Classic mid-Victorian romanticism. The transfer printing is crisp and detailed, and that green color has held up beautifully for 175 years. Sure, there's a small chip on the rim, but if you're hanging this on a wall (which you absolutely should), you'll never see it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eF. Primavesi \u0026amp; Sons was a Cardiff-based pottery that operated in the mid-1800s, and their transferware is collectible for its quality and Welsh heritage. This Chinoiserie pattern with the elaborate pagoda and Asian-inspired florals was hugely popular in Victorian England - everyone wanted a bit of exotic Eastern flair in their dining room. The detail in that transfer is impressive - look at the intricate lattice work on the pagoda and those delicate flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy this plate is special:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eF.
