This large aesthetic movement earthenware plate is printed in dark brown. The pattern features exotic blooming orchids and wildflowers mixed with maiden hair fern fronds and two cartouches; one of Ponton Chateau in Berlin, Germany and the other of Wolfe's Monument in Quebec, Canada.

Ponton Chateau marks the very spot where the larger-than-life English general James Wolfe received his fatal musket wound in the closing hours of the furious and pivotal Battle of The Plains of Abraham. History buffs may recall that it was this battle, with the English invading force victorious at the end, which ultimately gave the British Control over the French colonies in Canada. The pattern displays the period’s keen interest in nature and travel to exotic lands.
