Wedgwood Patrick Heron Limited Edition Charger Plate 12" with Box No. /500

Elevate your collection with this exceptional Wedgwood Patrick Heron limited edition charger plate, a striking fusion of fine English porcelain craftsmanship and bold 20th-century abstract art. Produced in a strictly limited edition of just 500 pieces, this impressive 12-inch (approx. 30 cm) plate embodies the distinctive, modernist style of renowned British artist Patrick Heron, making it a highly desirable piece for collectors of both studio pottery and contemporary art ceramics.

Created in the late 20th century, this original Wedgwood charger is a superb example of art pottery production, where sculptural form and painterly design meet. The plate’s wide, flat profile and generous 12" diameter provide the perfect canvas for Heron’s characteristic abstract composition. His dynamic use of colour, line, and form is beautifully translated into ceramic, giving the piece a gallery-worthy presence that stands out in any setting.

This is not a reproduction or later issue: it is an authentic, original limited edition Wedgwood Patrick Heron plate, produced to exacting standards by one of England’s most respected porcelain houses. Wedgwood’s long tradition of quality is evident in the crisp definition, excellent glaze, and refined finish. The plate feels substantial in the hand, with a luxurious weight and balance that reflect its premium production.

Key Features:

• Maker: Wedgwood, England – renowned for fine porcelain and high-end art pottery
• Artist: Patrick Heron – celebrated British abstract and modernist painter
• Type: Limited edition charger / display plate
• Edition: Limited to 500 examples worldwide
• Era: Late 20th century contemporary ceramic art
• Diameter: 12 inches (approx. 30 cm)
• Condition of Plate: Plate in perfect condition – no chips, cracks, crazing, or restoration
• Presentation: Comes with original box and accompanying document packet

Condition Details:

The charger plate itself is in outstanding, perfect condition. The surface is clean and glossy, with no damage, no discolouration, and no signs of use. It has clearly been cherished as a display piece rather than used at table.

The original packaging is present, which is increasingly rare for a limited edition of this age. Please note:

• Box: The original box is present but deteriorated, showing age-related wear and imperfections. It still serves to protect and authenticate the piece but is not in gift-quality condition.
• Document packet: The accompanying paperwork / document packet is slightly stained, consistent with age and storage. The documentation remains legible and useful for provenance.

These age-related imperfections are confined to the packaging and paperwork only; they do not detract from the beauty or integrity of the plate itself, which remains pristine and display-ready.

Display & Collecting Appeal:

With its bold contemporary design and impressive scale, this Patrick Heron charger makes a stunning focal point in a living room, dining room, hallway, or study. It displays beautifully on a plate stand, in a cabinet, or mounted on a wall (with appropriate fittings). The plate’s sculptural presence and abstract pattern make it an ideal piece for:

• Collectors of Wedgwood and fine English porcelain
• Enthusiasts of modern British art and Patrick Heron’s work
• Interior designers seeking a statement art ceramic for a luxury space
• Curated displays of late 20th-century design and studio pottery

As a limited edition of only 500 pieces, this charger plate offers both aesthetic and collectible value. It bridges the worlds of fine art and fine ceramics, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate museum-quality decorative objects with strong visual impact.

Why This Piece Stands Out:

• Rare collaboration between a major porcelain manufacturer and a leading abstract artist
• Strictly limited edition, enhancing long-term desirability
• Perfect condition plate – highly suitable for discerning collectors
• Original box and documentation included, despite age-related wear
• Ideal gift for a connoisseur of modern art or luxury ceramics

Shipping & Care:

The charger will be packed with exceptional care, using high-quality materials and protective wrapping to ensure it reaches you safely. Due to its size and value, it will be shipped securely and fully protected. This is a decorative collector’s item; it is best displayed rather than used for serving food, to preserve its condition and value.

If you appreciate fine Wedgwood porcelain, collect limited edition art plates, or seek a striking Patrick Heron piece to enhance your interior, this 12" charger is a superb choice. It combines the prestige of the Wedgwood name with the creative energy of one of Britain’s most important abstract painters, resulting in a truly distinctive work of ceramic art.
