"Asiatic Pheasants" was the most popular dinnerware pattern of the Victorian era; its principal production and popularity virtually coinciding with the reign of Queen Victoria (1838-1901) and such is its enduring charm that it is still produced in Staffordshire today, although in a much darker and less attractive form. It is printed in light blue with a floral pattern incorporating two birds (pheasants).
