For this round of ABC Wednesday I’m focussing on various objects in our house and garden, beginning with
A for Asiatic Pheasants and also B for Blue and White Porcelain.
This is an oval meal dish in the Asiatic Pheasants design, which was popular during Queen Victoria’s reign. It’s an English design based on an oriental original and is a much lighter blue than the Willow pattern.
It’s large and very heavy, and I’m rather fond of it. It has a cartouche on the back, which identifies the manufacturer as James Beech 1877 – 1889 in Tunstall Staffordshire.

My blue dish is not as old as yours, but I inherited it from my great-grandmother.

I love looking at old dishes and pottery. You never know if you’re looking at a treasure that somebody hasn’t recognized.
