Wedgwood Fairyland 'Elves in a Pine Tree' Plaque

Object Description

Wedgwood Fairyland lustre plaque decorated in the ‘Evles in a Pine Tree’ design – a woodland scene with center elf smoking a pipe, another elf at the bottom right corner at base of tree. A third elf sits in the top of the tree. Rainbow coloured ground to bottom third, purple ground to top two thirds. Green and blue mottled border. Gilt Wedgwood Portland Vase back stamp, with ‘WEDGWOOD ENGLAND’, to the reverse.

Object Condition

Good. No restoration. Very slight rubbing to gilt. Very light scratches to the panel interior from cleaning. A scratch to the top left corner. The right quarter of the inner panel has a matt appearance in comparison to the rest of the plaque, when caught in a certain light. It is probable that the glaze did not take properly here, during original manufacture. There is definitely no restoration.
