The plate “Venture on the High Seas” by Leonard Pearce takes on an even deeper significance with the Cutty Sark at its forefront. This iconic British clipper ship, immortalised in the swirling waves of Leonard Pearce’s artwork, symbolises the height of British maritime achievement during the 19th century. The Cutty Sark was one of the fastest and most celebrated ships of its time, built in 1869 to dominate the tea trade between China and Britain. Her sleek design and towering sails evoke a sense of speed and grace, and this plate captures that very essence of maritime ingenuity and ambition.
The artwork on this 8 1/8-inch fine porcelain plate, crafted under the Franklin Mint Heirloom Recommendation, invites collectors to step into history. The Cutty Sark, with its billowing sails taut against the wind, surges forward as though alive, reminding us of Britain’s global influence in the age of sail. This ship was not just a marvel of engineering but a symbol of national pride, racing across the seas to deliver precious cargo. Its story is one of resilience, having survived storms, a fire, and the passage of time to become a preserved national treasure in Greenwich, London.
Owning this plate is not simply adding an object to a collection; it is an invitation to celebrate and preserve a key piece of British maritime heritage. The fine detail of the plate, with its gold-trimmed edge and limited edition number C-3164, speaks to the quality and care that went into its creation. Made in Portugal and released in 1992, it is a homage to the sailors and craftsmen who made maritime history. Displaying this plate allows collectors to share in the legacy of the Cutty Sark and the bold spirit of exploration it represents.
