Bring an elegant piece of English dining history to your table or display cabinet with this vintage square handled cake plate from the iconic "Napoleon Ivy" collection by Wedgwood. Originally chosen by Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte during his exile on the island of St. Helena in 1815, this timeless pattern has remained a celebrated staple of traditional English tableware. Produced in the 1950s, this 10.5-inch serving piece beautifully balances historical pedigree with a striking, highly functional silhouette.

Design & Aesthetic
Crafted in Staffordshire, England, from Wedgwood’s signature fine Queen's Ware (creamware), the plate features an exquisitely detailed transfer pattern of trailing deep green ivy vines and dark clusters of berries, perfectly framed by a crisp green rim band. The unique square form is finished with elegant scalloped borders and integrated low-profile handles, making it a spectacular choice for serving cakes, pastries, or side dishes. Its classic botanical motif effortlessly complements traditional English country house, modern farmhouse, or festive holiday table settings.

Markings & Provenance
The underside features the authentic mid-century "Wedgwood of Etruria & Barlaston" ink stamp alongside the official pattern name inscription, certifying its vintage British provenance and collectible status. See less
