Aynsley Pembroke Fine Bone China Soup Plate

At 20 cm wide, this Aynsley Pembroke fine bone china soup plate carries the full decorative programme of the pattern across a form that gives the bird motif, colourful floral branches, and delicate gilt border the space they deserve, the wide flat rim providing a generous ground for the decoration while the shallow well at the centre completes the form with the proportional elegance characteristic of the best English bone china tableware.

Made by Aynsley China of Stoke-on-Trent, this soup plate is part of the Pembroke tableware range, one of the house's most enduring and widely collected patterns. The Pembroke pattern, with its vivid bird motif, hand-painted floral sprays in rich colours, and delicate gilt border, was produced by Aynsley across a wide range of tableware forms in the mid-20th century, and the soup plate is among the more sought-after pieces for collectors assembling complete table settings. The quality of the painting and gilding on Aynsley pieces of this period is consistently high, and this example is no exception. The piece is in very good condition throughout.
