Wedgwood "English Cathedrals" series decorative plate featuring Norwich

Mid 20th Century/England

Wedgwood, founded by Josiah Wedgwood in 1759, is a renowned British pottery manufacturer known for its high-quality ceramics and innovative designs. The company has produced a vast array of tableware, ornamental pieces, and commemorative items throughout its long history. Many of their pieces feature historical or topographical themes, celebrating British heritage and landmarks.

This particular plate is part of a series likely depicting "English Cathedrals," with this one focusing on Norwich Cathedral. The inclusion of historical details about the cathedral's foundation, spire, and a specific gateway, along with the credit to the London & North Eastern Railway for the illustration, suggests it was produced as a souvenir or commemorative item, possibly in the mid-20th century when such railways often sponsored related merchandise.
