A Lena Liu collector plate, ‘Iris Quartet’, crafted in fine china under the W.S. George hallmark and issued as a limited edition — the first plate in the Symphony of Shimmering Beauty series. White, pink and purple bearded irises with foxglove and a butterfly, on a soft pink ground scattered with raised gold, inside a gilt rim. Comes with its Certificate of Authenticity.
Collector plates of this kind, painted by named botanical artists and produced in strictly limited firings, were made to be framed or shown on a stand rather than used. Lena Liu’s flower studies are among the most sought of the genre.
