Very rare Wedgwood Aesthetic Movement octagonal plate, painted with a fanciful bird, gilt lozenge, blackberry blossom, cobalt blue and gilt border.

The Aesthetic Movement in Britain (1860 – 1900) aimed to escape the ugliness and materialism of the Industrial Age, by focusing instead on producing art that was beautiful rather than having a deeper meaning – 'Art for Art's sake'.
