There is a particular kind of blue that stops you in your tracks. Deep, dreamy, slightly blurred at the edges — the signature of Flow Blue, a transferware technique that gave Victorian England some of its most beloved tableware.
These three antique dinner plates are Ridgways Lonsdale, one of the most sought-after Flow Blue patterns of the late Art Nouveau and Edwardian era — recognized among collectors as a top ten desirable pattern in its category. The botanical motif trails across each 9" surface in that unmistakable cobalt wash, framed by a sculpted scalloped edge with scrollwork detail and original gilt trim.
Sold as individual pieces. Each piece is priced individually and reflects its condition.
Gilding loss and crazing present on all three, consistent with age and honest vintage collecting. These are pieces that have lived — and it shows beautifully. 2 plates with small chips on the underside of the rim, not visible from the front.
Tucked inside every set, a little something for first time customers — a hand-finished vintage passport notebook. Start the record. Note the piece, the moment, the person you gave it to. One day this bowl will sit in someone else's hands — and they'll know it came from yours.
