hibernia wedg.wood Posted by dominic vella on October 24, 2009, 2:26 pm 207.5.251.231 Picked up a plate at yard sale. Had the marking of the ship on top of the globe. Curious about the pattern. It is a scene of what appears to be a family in a rowboat, castle in the background and a keg of, hopefully whiskey, which the young man is rowing towards. Want to know if this is a known pattern? Border is pink with raspberries or blackberries. Plate is 9.5 inches wide.  Post a Response

I would be hugely grateful if you could manage to send me an image of the plate. I know the source of the views and might be able to identify it. Regards.

Re: hibernia wedg.wood Posted by Judie Siddall on October 24, 2009, 4:55 pm, in reply to "hibernia wedg.wood" 75.36.132.61 Hi Dominic, Your pattern is part of a series of Irish scenes. As a matter of fact, Hibernia is the classical Latin name for Ireland. John Wedge Wood(1841-1860)took advantage of the famous Wedgwood factory. The mark presents the name as Wedg.Wood, and unless you are checking carefully, you might think you were buying a item from Wedgwood. We have two patterns in this series listed in the TCC pattern database, and would appreciate seeing your 9.5 inch plate. It is possible that we will be able to identify the scene, as the patterns are based on real places. You say the border is pink. What is the color of the center of your plate. Coincidentally, the pattern of the month for November, that appears on the home page of the TCC website, will be the 8 inch plate in this series. Judie  Post a Response
