#dish patterns

It's not quite the same pattern, and it's not even Wedgwood (they have no makers mark)...

...but I think they will look cool for cosplay at Phantomhive Manor anyway.

Found this on Fb marketplace for just $10, and it will be much nicer after a cleanup and perhaps some touch ups on the gold paint. Unless I get it re-glazed and re-kilned, I might not be able to drink from it (if I add more gold paint, even if it's paint for ceramics).

Royal Doulton kitten plates... made in the 1950's, I believe. The sort of thing Dolores Umbridge would have in her too-pink office.... Remember how, in the Character Guide, Sebastian says he had bad taste in dish patterns when he first started out as butler? I can imagine him finding Victorian era cat patterns and buying those.... 😂

Ch1. So, @generalvonlily reminded me that this discrepancy is (partially) addressed in the translation notes at the end of the volume, and sure enough. So, I think for this "Wedgwood blue and white" tea set shown in the manga, Yana-san might have actually drawn inspiration from more than one tea set. The possible reference patterns I found: To the upper left is a modern (1980's) Royal Doulton set from the Royal Albert line, called "Moonlight Rose"; it's fitting for someone who is often associated with the moon. Kelvin makes the comparison of him to both the cold moon and to the thorny rose.... To the upper right is Enoch Wedgwood's "Windermere" in blue. The Windermere pattern has been available in some form or other for about 150 yrs. http://www.ebay.com/gds/Everything-You-Need-to-Know-About-Wedgwood-Windermere-Patterns-/10000000178468040/g.html This is *not* the same Wedgwood that makes the famous Jasperware. To the middle left is a slightly older (1960's) Enoch Wedgwood pattern, called "Asiatic Pheasants". Note that I say Enoch Wedgwood again. He was a *distant cousin* of the Josiah Wedgwood who founded the famous Wedgwood brand. Their pottery companies are *separate*. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch_Wedgwood It could be that Yana-san didn't know there were two Wedgwood pottery companies in Victorian England at the same time.... To the middle right is another Enoch Wedgwood pattern, generally just called "Blue Rose" or "White and Blue Rose". At the bottom (both pics) is yet another Enoch Wedgwood pattern, called "Blue Rose Ironstone".
