Origin: Staffordshire, England
Date: Circa 1865
Material: Majolica-glazed earthenware
Quantity: 8 matching plates

Measurements:
9-1/4" diameter

Condition:
Good antique condition, with no chips, cracks or repairs. There are some areas of glaze cloudiness, minor glaze variations, and small raised glaze imperfections (pimples and pockmarks) resulting from the manufacturing and firing process. Firing pin marks are present on the reverse. Light surface scratches, occasional scuff marks and glaze crazing are also present, consistent with age and use.

The glaze cloudiness is relatively subtle but worth noting. These characteristics are typical considerations in antique majolica and do not detract significantly from the overall presentation of this attractive matching set. Please review all photographs for condition details. See less
