A flow blue plate in the Geneva pattern — a rim wound with Art Nouveau tulips and trailing leaves in deep cobalt, softened at every edge into that misty, run-together blue, with a raised beaded border following the scalloped rim and a small blue rosette at the centre. About nine inches, English semi-porcelain.
The blur is the whole point of flow blue. Potters dropped a volatile chloride into the kiln so the cobalt would flow under the glaze as it fired, veiling the transfer seams — a trick that became a look, and one that shipped by the crate to North America through the Victorian years. A nice tell rides along with it: the backstamp flows too. The crown-and-knot mark reads Geneva · Semi-Porcelain · New Wharf Pottery · England, soft-edged the way genuine old flow blue marks almost always are, where a modern reproduction would print crisp.
One honest note on condition: the well carries some fine cutlery scratching from use. Otherwise it has come through beautifully — the tulip border, the beaded rim and the central rosette all bright and complete, the glaze sound and the blue undimmed. Lovely on a wall or a stand, and still presentable at the table.
