Exhibiting the whimsy of all the best majolica these plates are moulded with blossoming strawberries, grapes and leaves on a yellow ground with brown vine rims.

A great number of salads were made, and they continued their emphasis on garden and observatory-related items, as did most manufacturers of the period. The story did not end there, however, for as late as 1947 a Wedgwood Catalogue offered ‘Coloured Vine and Strawberry’ plates.” (\u003ci\u003eMajolica: British, Continental and America Wares, 1851–1915\u003c\/i\u003e, Victoria Bergensen, Barrie \u0026amp; Jenkins Ltd, 1989, p. 52)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(17, 17, 17);\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e~~~~~~~~~~~\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Georgegen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42963465895978,"sku":null,"price":1922.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/8478\/5962\/files\/Georgegen-Ceramics-Dresser-WedgwoodMajolicaYellowVine_StrawberryDessertService-1.jpg?v=1752897618","url":"https:\/\/www.georgegen.com.au\/products\/wedgwood-majolica-strawberry-dessert-plates","provider":"Georgegen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
