$550.00

Wedgwood Majolica 'Vine & Strawberry' plate, English, with a large central green grape leaf, purple grapes, strawberries, and blossoms on a brown ground, impressed marks to reverse: 'WEDGWOOD' and Wedgwood date code for 1896.

From its introduction in circa 1875, production of the 'Vine & Strawberry' endured throughout the remainder of Wedgwood's M-Series years (circa 1868-1880) and the K-Series years (1880 through circa 1888), but as Victoria Bergesen observes, "...Wedgwood Majolica continued until 1910... The story did not end there, however, for as late as 1947 a Wedgwood Catalogue offered 'Colored Vine & Strawberry' plates."
