Wedgwood fine bone china collector's plate titled 'Making the Hayrick' by Chris Howells

This collector's plate was crafted in 1992 by Josiah Wedgwood & Sons Limited in Barlaston, Stoke-on-Trent, England. It is the third issue in the 'Country Days' series, which depicts rural community life in a bygone era, and was produced in a limited edition with a maximum of 55 firing days. Collector plates like this one became popular in the late 20th century as decorative items and investment pieces. This particular plate appeals to collectors of fine English bone china, rural nostalgia enthusiasts, and those interested in limited edition decorative arts that capture traditional country life scenes. The limited production run and the craftsmanship of Wedgwood make it a desirable piece for collectors of British ceramics.
