This charming Andrea by Sadek dish captures the brand’s signature blend of accessibility and artistry. Its graceful bird-and-flower motif reflects the influence of 18th-century English porcelain designs.
Founded in the mid-20th century, Andrea by Sadek specialized in decorative ceramics made in Japan that merged classic European aesthetics with approachable modern production—a hallmark of collectible porcelain from this era.
The bottom reads: Sadek Bird Dish, Exotic Birds. Modeled after Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory dinnerware (England, c. 1760), and also features a Smithsonian logo, noting their involvement in the pattern creation. Chelsea porcelain, which serves as the inspiration for this dish, was a highly regarded English porcelain manufacturer from the18th century. The Smithsonian Institution connection suggests that the design is based on bird illustrations or porcelain pieces within the museum’s collection.
