Westfield House is associated with the traditional art of china and porcelain painting and has a long history of teaching and supplying materials for porcelain painting, including lustres and metallic decoration.

These appear to be individually hand-decorated studio/class pieces rather than mass-produced collector plates. Visible brushwork, line variations and differences in the painted decoration contribute to their handmade character.

Lot includes 2 plates:

• Fairy beside water with additional fairy/figure among foliage

• Fairy reaching toward a flower with large butterfly and grassy garden scene

Both feature matching 1982 Westfield House provenance and complement each other beautifully as a pair.

Ideal for collectors of vintage fairy art, hand-painted porcelain, fairycore, cottagecore, fantasy decor, decorative china and traditional porcelain painting.

Please see all photos for measurements, inscriptions, details and exact condition.
