This iconic Aesthetic Movement pattern features a deeply sculpted central sunflower blossom set against a rich basket-weave ground. Overlapping sunflower foliage drapes gracefully into each corner, framed by open-molded branch handles. The emerald-green glaze is expertly fired, pooling within the recesses of the dimensional mold work to create incredible depth and contrast.
The reverse bears the classic impressed straight-line "WEDGWOOD" maker's mark alongside a "GVC" three-letter datemark configuration confirming production during the 1870s Victorian period. A striking statement piece, this dish adds vibrant historical character whether styled on a dining table or curated as a wall display.
