W.T. Copeland & Sons Red Willow Chinoiserie Transferware Plate

Red Willow transferware is considerably rarer than its blue counterpart, and a W.T. Copeland and Sons example from the late 19th century is a genuinely significant find for the serious collector, with the warm, deep red tone and detailed chinoiserie composition that make red transfer pieces so striking and sought-after.

Decorated in a deep red Willow-style design featuring a pagoda landscape, willow tree, bridge, boat and birds within a textured red border, this plate carries the W.T. Copeland and Sons mark, placing it firmly in the Stoke-on-Trent Spode and Copeland tradition. The warm red tone and detailed chinoiserie composition give it a strong display presence, suited to collectors of Staffordshire transferware, Spode and Copeland ceramics and classic chinoiserie-inspired tableware. W.T. Copeland and Sons red transferware from the late 19th century is uncommon in the market, and the quality of the transfer work and the crispness of the Willow-style composition make this a particularly desirable example. Red Willow plates of this age and provenance represent a meaningful addition to any serious transferware collection. This example is in visible condition as shown in the images.
