No. 735121, Made in England, c.1928–1932","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is something quietly extraordinary about a piece that was never meant to be anonymous. This Shelley fine bone china square dish is hand-painted and signed by artist M. Paton — one of the skilled decorators who brought Shelley's floral patterns to life by hand, one piece at a time. In an era before mass production erased the maker's mark entirely, a signed piece like this is a small act of authorship. It deserves to be recognised as such.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pattern — soft pink flowers with green leaves in the manner of Shelley's \u003cem\u003eWild Rose\u003c\/em\u003e (Pattern 12111) or \u003cem\u003eDog Rose\u003c\/em\u003e — is rendered with the kind of delicate confidence that only comes from a practiced hand. A considered addition to any serious Shelley collection, or a quietly beautiful object for a dressing table, a bedside, or a well-curated shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe square embossed form with handled edges is characteristic of Shelley's Art Deco period production. The green backstamp — used by Shelley during the Art Deco era — dates production to approximately 1928–1932, confirmed further by the registered design number 735121, first registered c.1928.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shelley (Wileman \u0026amp; Co.), Staffordshire, England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild Rose \/ Dog Rose style, Pattern No. 12111\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signed M.
