Product Description
A beautifully hand-painted Aynsley Orchard Gold small fruit dish dating to circa 1939 and signed by artist D. Jones. Measuring approximately 11cm in diameter, this finely crafted English bone china dish features the richly detailed Orchard Gold pattern, renowned for its lifelike fruit studies and warm tonal depth. The centre is decorated with a vibrant arrangement of peaches and grapes, highlighted with subtle shading and delicate brushwork that gives the fruit a softly dimensional quality. The gently scalloped form is enhanced by a glowing golden-yellow ground and finished with elegant hand-applied gilding along the rim.
Pieces signed by individual artists are especially sought after, reflecting the high level of artistry that defined Aynsley’s pre-war decorative wares. Perfect as a cabinet piece, trinket dish, or addition to a growing Aynsley collection, this charming example captures the craftsmanship and warmth of classic English porcelain.
