New Wharf Pottery Conway Flow Blue Plate & Bowl

These two Conway-pattern plates, 1 dinner plate and 1 soup bowl, create a striking matched display through their rhythmic arrangement of scrolling foliage, patterned reserves, and a central floral medallion. The crisp white ground sets off the dense cobalt ornament, a decorative vocabulary associated with Staffordshire transferware at the close of the Victorian era. Their matched composition is especially appealing displayed together or incorporated into a blue-and-white tableware collection. New Wharf Pottery operated in Staffordshire during the late nineteenth century.
