Hi, my Mum has some small side plates with a Ridgways Semi-Porcelain mark >1891. They have a really unusual pattern that looks almost like two separate designs on the one plate – on the left is a tree that looks Japanese inspired & on the right is an English cottage scene. Any thoughts on this?? I’m intrigued!!
Thanks,
Rose
Yes I love the Japanese inspired prints of the time and my family had a few of them, but none with a traditional English design alongside – the two seem incongruous to me! Maybe it’s just me. Will edit to add stamp.
