Available for purchase is a scarce, matching chronological pair of 9-inch antique promotional calendar plates from 1914 and 1918. (Hanging hardware is supplied) Custom-ordered over a century ago as holiday gifts for the merchant "J.G. McIntosh," these premium plates feature iconic, licensed artwork from two of the most celebrated wildlife illustrators of the early 20th century. Instead of generic factory patterns, these pieces showcase highly collectible, signed artist transfers that elevate them into genuine pieces of sportsman history. Featured Artists:1914 Plate – Artwork by Robert K. Beck (R.K. Beck): The central image features an incredibly detailed marshland scene with a pair of foraging woodcocks. Beck was a premier American canvas painter and watercolorist famous for his ultra-realistic depictions of game birds and hunting dogs. His signature transfers were highly coveted and licensed exclusively by top-tier potteries like Buffalo Pottery and D.E. McNicol. The calendar elements on this plate are uniquely styled as hanging scrolls divided by carnation sprigs. 1918 Plate – Artwork by A. Bihr: This piece features a striking underwater riverbed illustration of a freshwater fish. Bihr was an elusive, premium commercial illustrator whose intricate nature designs were highly sought after across the industry—his work notably bridged the gap between affordable American calendar ware and luxury, hand-painted imported Nippon porcelain from Japan. This plate features a classic layout accented by a vibrant bluebird graphic and purple violet garlands. Specifications:Manufacturer: D.E. McNicol Pottery Co.
