For a similar example from the same variant of this group of patterns featuring both fruit and flowers in the central reserve See: In search of James Giles, Coke, Gerald page 211 plate (b)

Ebay is a fantastic platform via which to communicate. I am Eric Knowles. I am unquestionably a people person in so far as I like to know the person at the end of the telephone, or those with whom I communicate electronically. For the avoidance of doubt and to eliminate risk when buying I always like to know the seller.

Please do not think me egotistical, however, it is important that people know exactly who I am. I have been involved in the antiques business since 1971. My career took a leap forward when I joined Bonhams in 1976. Some five years later I became head of the Decorative Arts department. The same year I was invited by the BBC to take part in the Antiques Roadshow and 38 years later I am still enjoying being a part of the team.
