DETAILED DESCRIPTION : PLEASE VIEW ALL THE PHOTOS! Private estate offering at a highly discounted price. Certified gold seal of The British Antique Dealer’s Association Ltd. On the back of one plate, examined, certified and authenticated that these wonderful serving dishes were produced prior to C. 1847, please view photo #10. These elegant and very decorative servers still retain an early 1900’s inventory tag from the famous Birks Jewelers & Silversmiths. Ridgway was known for their beautiful early bone china, fine earthenware and stoneware. The estate stated that these servers were early 1800’s. 1808 porcelain, that is to say bone china was produced and earlier examples were unmarked, such as the serving dishes being offered here. Photos do not do these elaborate dishes any justice, each serving dish features a very aesthetic and elaborate Victorian gold gilt pattern on a green ground with hand painted florals, each having fancy gold gilt scrolled handles. Each serving dish measures 9 1/2″ x 11″ across the handles. The servers feature a backstamp from an early 1800’s Birmingham Merchant, W. Located at 108, Steelhouse Lane in Birmingham (England). CONDITION : Both servers are in beautiful clean condition, free from chips, fleabites, cracks, hairlines, crazing, discoloring or repairs, a miracle considering their 180+ years of age. Very very minor light scratches only mentioned for the perfectionist, most sellers would never mention, servers are exquisite and display beautifully, very well cared for, heirloom quality. Early Victorian Ridgway is very expensive and rare. Both serving dishes have some weight and will be packed for “war” with the greatest of care.
