The salty breeze carries the laughter of children as they dance along the rugged shore, their bare feet sinking into the cool, damp sand. The golden glow of an Edwardian summer bathes the coastline, the sky a perfect canvas of soft blues and wispy clouds. Two young souls, wrapped in crisp white cotton and delicate lace, cling to one another, their sun-kissed curls tousled by the wind. “Marooned!”—the title of this exquisite collector’s plate—captures the tender innocence of childhood adventures. The little girl, her porcelain cheeks flushed with a touch of worry, grips her tin pail, its delicate floral patterns reflecting the evening light. Beside her, a young boy stands protective, his straw hat tilted slightly as if shielding them from the imaginary perils of the deep.
The scene is alive with warmth and nostalgia, evoking the cherished memories of summers past, where the only cares in the world were the whispering waves and the treasures hidden beneath the rocks. You can almost hear the distant cries of gulls, the rhythmic crashing of waves against the cliffs, and the joyful giggles of seaside explorers as they embark on their grandest adventure yet. The rich, hand-painted details—each brushstroke a tribute to Yvonne Gilbert’s artistic mastery—transport the collector to a time when simple joys shaped childhood memories. The delicate gold rim frames this Royal Worcester masterpiece, elevating its beauty while preserving a moment of youthful wonder frozen in time.
For lovers of Edwardian charm, fine bone china, and seaside nostalgia, this limited-edition plate from 1991 is a true treasure. Crafted by Royal Worcester for Compton & Woodhouse, it is more than a collector’s item—it is an invitation to relive the tender moments of innocence and adventure. Whether displayed in a cherished collection or gifted to someone who longs for the romance of a bygone era, this plate embodies the heart of timeless storytelling, a delicate bridge between past and present.
