Wedgwood Handpainted plates

Was incredibly fortunate to acquire 8 matching plates, all in good condition, with paintings (not transfer prints) of Scotland (eg Loch Katrine, Iona's Nunnery) and the Lake District.

I think that the impressed Wedgwood and the stamp date this to 1878-1891 (no England either stamped or impressed).

I've included photos of just one plate, Windemere, the others all have the same descriptive writing in red and the X 371 number.

I've been unable to trace any other examples, would love to hear if anyone can find out more

 

Can you see any impressed letters? There is a key here that can help to narrow down to an exact year. Scroll down to near the bottom of this page:

According to this page on the same site, the stamp with the urn started in use in 1878, and the word "England" began being used in 1891. So that is the date range I would give it, unless you can see the impressed letters:

How VERY pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

No Fig, no letters impressed, checked all 8 plates. So we are in agreement on date 1878-1891.

What throws me is why I cant find any other Wedgwood plates like this. They all look 100% genuine to me and not later painted on blanks.

 

When I wrote the previous post I didn't look back at yours to realize that you had given the same date range. Sorry for the redundancy!
