Item Description:

Single antique STARTER PLATE with a tiny chip to the underside (please read condition carefully). We also have lots of other plates & items in the SAME rare pattern, made by Royal Grafton (as AB Jones and sons). Would make a very special wedding setting or even gift. 

Detail: Plate measures  22.5cm and has a gold / gilt trim. There is a bright, delightful colourful design featuring vines of fruit and colourful exotic birds (perhaps parrots?). Colours include a white china base, orange, red, blue, yellow, brown (branches) and green leaves. 

Pattern: Stamp denotes manufacture was between 1900-13. Researching this pattern has not been easy. We trawled all international EBay searches, 20 pages of Google images and 4 major china sites. After an hour of searching we can only conclude this to be a rare pattern - we did not find another the same on the internet WORLDWIDE. So sorry, we do not know the pattern name but the pattern number is 4581-4 (which also yielded no results).
