Each plate features a raised four-point design in the center, with embossed mini four-point accents around the border. The tops are adorned with transfer-printed scenes of cherubs at play, surrounded by hand-applied heavy gilt scrolls outlining the motif and the edges of the plates. These charming dishes are ideal for serving delicate starters, caviar, desserts, or condiments like a pat of butter.

These antique plates exhibit visible signs of age: one plate has a chipped edge (1" long), and minor chips can be found on most plates. Slight gold loss along the edges and corners. Two plates share the same cherub design. Please review all photos carefully before making your purchase to appreciate their unique beauty and condition.
