Wonderful set of 6 early Minton dessert plates. White porcelain bodies are trimmed with scalloped and moulded edges that are painted with a scrolling and shell design. The bodies of the plates are hand-painted with vivid polychrome enamels with a variation of the "Indian tree" design. The centre of the plates depicts a tree surrounded by blue, red and pink chrysanthemum flowers; similar floral sprays are repeated along the border.

Beautiful set in great antique condition.

Made by Minton, England c. 1840’s. Iimpressed marks to reverse, pattern number painted in red paint "N. 9652".

Very good antique condition. Tiny chip to the underside of one plate; stress lines to the centre and reverse of one plate - there are high contrast photos to show these, as they are very faint; light scuffing to enamelling appropriate for age; few tiny nicks to glazing.
