Maker: This lovely salad plate is by the legendary English maker Spode. And it reflects that company's superb quality: the craftsmanship is of a very high standard.

Design: The pattern - called Queen's Gate - features a pure white background with an elegant gold overlay. On the reverse of the plate is the Spode mark with the pattern name and number Y8052.

Queen's Gate was produced between 1970 and 1991. It is the white and gold version of Spode's green and gold Royal Windsor pattern and would blend beautifully with a Royal Windsor set.

Condition and size: The 8 inch plate is in excellent condition with no nicks, chips, cracks, scratches, marks, stains or repairs.
