These elegant plates feature vibrant exotic birds with ornate gilt scrollwork, deep burgundy borders, and hand-finished raised enamel accents throughout the landscape details.

Each plate is decorated with colorful birds and signed “A. Robert” beneath the central motif. The surrounding scenes show lovely variation, including differing tassels on the birds’ crests and dimensional raised decoration on the trees and berries, giving the set exceptional old-world charm and texture.

The plates measure approximately 6 3/8 inches in diameter and are ideal for bread plates, desserts, tea service, or layered maximalist table settings.

Based on the backstamps and decoration style, these appear to date to the early 20th century, likely circa 1920s–1930s, though buyers should verify exact age independently. Two different Myott backstamps appear throughout the set, likely indicating multiple production runs or slight hallmark variations used by the company during that period.

Condition is very good antique condition overall with no chips. Fine age-related crazing is present, consistent with antique English china. Two plates show minor loss to portions of the birds’ crests, and there is light wear to some of the gilding and decoration from gentle use over time. Overall, the set displays beautifully.
