Maker: The antiquedealer\'s tag that was attached to this extraordinary polychrome china service when it was purchased at an estate sale identified it as \"c1870\" and that\'s likely true. While no maker\'s mark appears on this plate or on any of the other pieces in the large set, their style and the quality of the china point directly to that era.
Some pieces in the set - but not this plate - have a magenta diamond pattern registration mark. It confirms that the pattern was registered in England on March 5, 1875, making it likely that the plate was produced around that time.
Design: The remarkably beautiful plate features a thin burgundy band highlighted with white beading that alternates with white \"napkin fold\" corners. Finely hand painted peaches are at the center.
Size: The plate is 8 3/4 inches wide and weighs 1 pound.
Condition: It\'s in excellent condition for its age and fragile material with no marks, nicks, chips, cracks, stains, discoloration, repairs or significant wear. On the back is a small circle of old adhesive, suggesting that the plate was attached to something - probably a pedestal - at some point. That makes it wobble slightly on flat surfaces.
Please check all the photos very carefully - they are an important part of the description.
