Wedgwood Peter Rabbit 1993 Birthday Plate

At 20.5 cm wide, this Wedgwood Peter Rabbit 1993 birthday plate, with its central birthday scene and surrounding illustrated panels of Beatrix Potter's beloved characters, is a charming piece of English collectible china that brings the full cast of the Beatrix Potter world together in a single decorative composition, the surrounding character panels giving the plate a richness and variety of illustration that the single-scene plates cannot achieve.

Made by Wedgwood of Stoke-on-Trent in 1993, this birthday plate is part of the series of annual Beatrix Potter birthday plates that Wedgwood produced for the collector and gift market. The 1993 plate, with its central Peter Rabbit birthday scene and surrounding illustrated panels featuring the wider cast of Beatrix Potter characters, is a particularly rich example of the series, the multiple character panels giving the plate a narrative complexity that rewards close examination. The quality of the Wedgwood bone china production and ceramic printing gives the plate the refinement and durability that the Wedgwood name guarantees, and the 1993 production date gives the piece a specific provenance within the long history of Wedgwood Beatrix Potter plates. The piece is in very good condition throughout.
