The bigger daisies at each corner have been highlighted with pink/copper luster.
These plates are antique: probably ca. 1870.
Good vintage condition with normal wear and some discoloration consistent with age. The age marks give these plates a special charm. Plate "aan myne zuster" has a small chip on the border.

Great wall decor item for either domestic or hospitality use. It would look great on the wall of nursery room or girl's room either in a group or together with other plates or artwork.
They can of course also used for serving food, in which case we recommend hand washing using non abrasive pad and gentle soap: these plates are 126 years old! See less
