Wedgwood Imperial 13.4" Decorative Plate
Item Number:  5C114201516
Dimensions:  13.4"
Description:  Taking inspiration from 19th Century oriental designs within the Wedgwood pattern archive, the opulent print of the Imperial Collection magnificently represents the dragon and phoenix. These two motifs together symbolise beauty, power and good fortune within the Chinese culture, and are traditionally used as Imperial characters. Detailed mythological creatures are showcased in tones of real gold against the eclectic, textured background in beautiful regal hues of red and blue. The edges of the dinnerware set, which includes a chopstick stand, rice bowl with cover and Chinese tea cup and saucer, are further gilded in 22-carat gold for a decadent finish. The exquisite Imperial Collection is perfect for evening dining. Made in England by Wedgwood’s highly skilled craftsman, the range adds an exotic flair to any luxurious occasion.

   About the Wedgwood Company  
The story of Wedgwood in 1730 with the birth of Josiah Wedgwood to a family who manufactured pottery. By 1760, Josiah had his own factory and had been experimenting with different formulas of porcelain, clays and glazes and technological advances in the art of transferring designs to the finished product. In 1765 he manufactured a complete set for Queen Charlotte, advertised himself as the "potter to the Queen" and his business took off. Josiah's crowning achievement was his creation of Jasperware. Jasper is translucent clay that marries the basalt and Josiah's original formulas to produce a dense, homogeneously colored stoneware. After more than 10,000 failed experiments with various clays and glazes, Jasperware was launched in 1775 to overwhelming success. 250 years later, his Wedgwood china is still a perennial favorite of both brides and collectors. And the Wedgwood name is an international symbol of luxury and elegance.
