A pair of Royal Worcester cabinet plates by Charley Baldwyn, dated 1908

Of scalloped form, the centres painted with lively lapwings amongst wildflowers and grasses with further birds in flight beyond, a nesting pair sheltering in the undergrowth, both signed 'C H C Baldwyn', within simple gilt line rims, 22.6cm diam, puce marks (2)

Footnotes

Charley Baldwyn had a passionate interest and aptitude for painting birds from life. His vivacious style is seen clearly on this pair of plates, although the Royal Worcester factory preferred his formal paintings of swans. Frustrated at the few opportunities to paint 'real' birds, Baldwyn left the factory by 1909 to concentrate on painting watercolours.
