Royal Doulton Ptarmigan Cabinet Plate by Joseph Hancock

A hand painted Royal Doulton cabinet plate by Joseph Hancock. Three ptarmigan in white winter plumage nestle into highland moorland while birds fly across a soft sky. Ptarmigan is one of the most admired subjects in Hancock's game bird work. The plate is signed by the artist on the front and titled Ptarmigan on the reverse. A wide raised gilt border of scrolling foliage frames the scene.
