Wedgwood Green Chinese Tigers
Wedgwood Green Chinese Tigers: A Rare and Exotic Vintage Treasure
For collectors and design lovers alike, the name Wedgwood brings to mind timeless English elegance. But nestled among its classic florals and iconic Jasperware lies a pattern that feels bold, exotic, and utterly unforgettable: Green Chinese Tigers.
A Pattern with Personality
Crafted during the mid-20th century, the Green Chinese Tigers pattern is one of Wedgwood’s rarest and most visually daring creations. Featuring vivid green tigers intertwined with bamboo and flowering branches, this design is a tribute to chinoiserie style with a modern mid-century twist.
Each piece tells a story—two stylized tigers in motion, framed by foliage, creating a sense of strength and serenity. This is not your grandmother’s tea set—it’s a statement.
