Four Game Bird Dinner Plates. Porcelain Plates. Pheasant, Partridge, Snipe & Duck Designs.

This set of four vintage game bird plates are the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys hunting and cooking their quarry. They are 23cms/ 9" diameter. They are deep sided too, 3.5cms/ 1¼", so that the meat can be served with sauces and dressings, without risk of spillage. All have a fluted, gold "line" edge. There are four different designs of the pairs of pheasant, partridge, snipe and duck, illustrated in their natural habitats. The colours and details of the illustrations are incredibly accurate and realistic. They are all in excellent condition with no chips or cracks and they all have the "porcelaine de sologne" mark on the undersides. There is some slight "wear" to the gilding, on a couple of the plates, consistent with their age, this in no way detracts from their functionality or beauty. These plates would look wonderful displayed in a hunting lodge / country manor setting. ...et voilà!...
