Completing this magnificent trio is the tea plate, a dainty yet enchanting masterpiece in its own right. Mirroring the floral motif of its companions, the plate is adorned with a profusion of crimson blooms, their vibrant hues captured in timeless elegance upon the pristine surface of fine bone china. A golden border encircles the edge of the plate, adding a final flourish of luxury to this exquisite ensemble.
