Vintage Meakin Audubon White Crowned Sparrow Cottagecore Plate England [5868]

A delightful piece of American ornithological history on fine English ironstone — this Vintage Alfred Meakin collector plate features the White Crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia Leucophrys), reproduced from the Elephant Folio Edition of Audubon's Birds of America by the National Audubon Society.

Two White Crowned Sparrows perch among lush grape leaves and clusters of deep indigo berries, rendered in rich, naturalistic color against a bright white ground. The wide embossed floral border adds an elegant cottagecore charm that makes this plate as lovely displayed on a wall as it is treasured in a collection.
