Additional Information : A stunning and interesting pattern adapted from Japanese ‘imari’ style and recorded in 1806. Pattern number (814) falls into the range of 80 nicknamed ‘candlelight patterns’. this was coined due to the platinum metal that was combined in the gilding. Platinum gave a unique rich sheen that was also found to be more durable. some admirers thought this new technique to be garish and too ‘showy’ in daylight even though it was intended for use by candlelight. in which it looks outstanding.
