Vintage Wedgwood Wild Strawberry Bone China Leaf-Shaped Trinket Dish, Made in England

Product Description

A beautiful vintage leaf-shaped trinket dish in Wedgwood’s celebrated Wild Strawberry pattern. Delicate pink flowers, ripening strawberries and trailing green leaves decorate the white bone china, while its gently fluted edge is finished with a fine gilt rim.

Perfect for holding a watch, rings, jewellery or other small treasures on a dressing table or bedside table, it could also be used for keys and coins in a hallway or for serving a few chocolates and sweets.

Its elegant shape and timeless botanical design would bring a touch of English country-garden charm to a shelf, desk or side table. Compact and versatile, it would also make a lovely small gift for a Wedgwood collector.

Founded by Josiah Wedgwood in Staffordshire in 1759, Wedgwood is one of Britain’s most celebrated pottery manufacturers. Introduced in 1965, Wild Strawberry became one of the company’s most recognisable and best-loved patterns and remains part of the Wedgwood collection today.

The reverse carries the stylised Wedgwood Portland Vase backstamp with “Bone China, Made in England, Wild Strawberry”, confirming that this earlier example was made in England. The style of the backstamp and dish suggests that it dates from around the 1970s–1980s, although an exact manufacturing year cannot be confirmed. Its English manufacture is an appealing detail for collectors, as some later Wild Strawberry pieces were produced outside England.
