Oh my!
While AYNSLEY have been "around" for 250+ years, producing the very finest in English chinawares, this is a more "contemporary" piece from them, a youngster at only 40+ years old!
AYNSLEY - Trinket Dish
Made in England (this is important as around this time of production many English fine china works were sending their production overseas in an attempt to lower costs ... Aynsley stayed in England)
Circa 1980's ~ 1990's
Design: Orchard Gold
As the name suggests, vibrant golden Yellow background with cherries around the sides and a central grouping of fruits.
WARNING ... If you are intending to match this trinket dish with other pieces from your own Orchard Gold setting, check the design because Orchard Gold has been "around" for many years and the actual design has subtle differences over the years.
