Gorgeous Hawkes Klondyke Pattern – SOLD

This plate is in one of Hawkes’ rarest and certainly most desirable patterns – Klondyke. It is signed in the center. The blank of the tray is similar to that of a pie pan in how it comes up at the ends.

The pattern is simply unbeatable in design. Swirling chains of 3 hobstars whisp around the entire plate. They are divided by fine crosshatching. The precise execution of this is visually impressive. The center is made up of a puntie surrounded by additional crosshatching.

The plate is in perfect condition with just a couple of tiny surface scratches. It measures 10″ in diameter and 1 3/4″ high. I cannot stress enough how beautiful this plate is in person – on of the really perfectly balanced designs of the Brilliant Period.
