Antique 1880 English England Gildea & Walker Chinese Japanese oriental Chinoiserie China Bowl Plate

Size 9” diameter 1.5” tall

The asymmetrical layout of this pattern is influenced by Japanese woodblock prints. The decorative border with a gilt geometric out and floral inner draws from the influence of Chinese porcelain.

Gildea & Walker’s Chinoiserie patterns are distinguished by their artistic blending of Eastern-inspired imagery with Western decorative tastes. While heavily influenced by Japanese art (Japonisme), many of their patterns also reflect fantasy-driven Chinese themes—part of a broader Victorian fascination with the Orient.
