English Pottery Pearlware Botanical Plates,

Circa 1840

(Ref: NY9377-IUR)

The folky painted plates have a scalloped rim.  In the center of each plate is a large purple flower head with a yellow center and a green leaf and stem most likely stylized daises.  Around the border is a band of blue within thin black lines with a series of closed flower heads facing inward in pink and black.  These are very charming and striking.

Dimensions: 8-inch diameter x 1 inch
