Front Design

The plates are bright white with a colorful floral and butterfly pattern:
• Floral motif: Roses, daisies, and wildflowers in shades of blue, pink, yellow, and red.
• Butterflies: Blue and orange butterflies scattered among the flowers, adding a lively, whimsical touch.
• The design feels cheerful, delicate, and very much in line with traditional English tableware.

Backstamp

The backstamp (underside marking) identifies them as:
• Maker: Aynsley, Made in England.
• Line: HyStyle™ – a range made for modern utility while retaining traditional elegance.
• Features: Microwave- and dishwasher-proof, labeled as “Oven to Tableware” (so they’re durable as well as decorative).

Overall Impression

These pieces combine practical function with classic English floral decoration, making them versatile for both display and everyday use. They’re not just fragile antiques—this line was made for actual use in the kitchen and dining room, while still being collectible because of Aynsley’s reputation. See less
