VINTAGE NORITAKE PLATE (3/3)
WITH HAND PAINTED BATELEUR EAGLE
On offer is this stunning cobalt blue and gold edged plate, the design of which was discontinued in 1987.
What makes this plate so special, besides being vintage Noritake, is the incredible, hand painted Bateleur Eagle that adorns the plate. This is the workmanship of S Henessy (?).
The Bateleur eagle is the most famous of the snake eagles. Bateleur is French for 'tightrope-walker'. This name was probably chosen because of its distinctive aerial acrobatics.
Its pitch black feathers with white under the wings, bright red face and legs and black beak are characteristic markings. Unlike most creatures, female Bateleur eagles are larger than males. Bateleur eagles pair for life and stay in the same nest for several years.
The Bateleur eagle is found throughout Africa south of the Sahara. It prefers tree and bush savanna. It wants open land - grassland and acacia savannah. It is reduced or extinct in most of its southern African range.
The plate is in pristine condition and measures 27cms and weighs 600 grams
