Wedgwood Cuckoo Sandwich Tray
This is a rectangular-shaped serving tray or sandwich platter crafted from fine bone china, featuring the iconic 'Cuckoo' design from Wedgwood. The piece is characterized by a romantic, Chinoiserie-inspired aesthetic with a vibrant blue-green (aqua) ground covered in a white geometric trellis or honeycomb pattern interspersed with small florets. The central decorative motifs include a beautifully detailed orange and blue bird perched on a branch, alongside oversized, stylized peonies in shades of pink, violet, and white. The craftsmanship reflects Wedgwood’s high production standards, featuring a fine gold-gilded rim that adds luxury to the scalloped-edge form. This specific design is a modern reimagining of a pattern from the Wedgwood archives dating back to the early 19th century, specifically around 1810. The condition appears fair to good; while the colors remain vivid, there are visible surface marks and potentially some minor staining or glaze wear on the right side of the plate. The gilding appears mostly intact, though fine scratches are likely present due to handling. The piece showcases the delicate yet durable quality typical of fine bone china manufactured in the United Kingdom or by Licensed Wedgwood facilities.
