These magnificent plates dates from around 1910-20. Each unique variety of orchid is identified on the reverse (see last photo) along with the Spode hallmark.On the front and extremely difficult to see, is the artist's signature of J. Price.The plates are beautifully gold rimmed and have a lovely scalloped edge. They measure 10 1/2" in diameter. The decoration is a combination of hand painted enamel and transfer printing. The gorgeous background color is a lovely shade of blue.Here is a list of the variety names printed on the reverse sides: Oneidium Papilio Majus, Cattleya Mendellii Var Measuresiana, Dendrobium Nobile, Odontoglossum Pescatoree, Dendrobium Pulchellum, Loelia Parpurata, Dendrobium Phalanopsis Var, and Cattleya Citrina.The consignor acquired these plates around 15 years ago and had them displayed on a long plate rail along the top portion of a wall. We can only post 10 photos so the last one shows only half of the marks on reverse of plates. We have one other photo that has the other 4 if you need to see it, email. Shipping within the Continental USA $30.00 plus insurance.
