Early Blue and White - Ridgway's Parrot Border Series 'Mausoleum of Kausim Solemanee at Chunar Gur'


Parrot Border 'Mausoleum of Kausim Solemanee at Chunar Gur' c1820

A lovely dinner plate now attributed to John and William Ridgway and printed in medium blue with one of three known Indian views - this one showing the domed Mausoleum of Kausim Solemanee surrounded by palm trees with a family group in the foreground. Beautifully framed by a border of parrots among fruit and roses from which the series gets its name. For more details visit my website Premier Antiques
