Information
A superb pair of Minton Aesthetic Movement plates from designs by Emile Lessore (1805-1876). Finely printed line drawings in dark red with flesh tones make a subtle contrast on a pale cream ground, 'Morning' features a cherub with butterfly wings chasing a butterfly while 'Night' shows a cherub with a butterfly sitting in a tree. Both in excellent condition - no chips, cracks or restoration. Fine age related crazing, but nothing to detract from the display value of these lovely items. Printed 'L' (for Lessore) with impressed Minton marks and year codes for 1879. Diameter 25.5cm (10in)
