BACKSTAMP
As photographed ...
The backstamp suggests this side plate was produced during the period of the late 1930's or early 1940's - the beginning of WWII period.
CONDITION:
NO cracks
NO crazing
NO fleabites observed
NO discolouration to the Baby Pink wash
Gold gilding (both the inner circular band and the outer rim feathered gilding) is in very good condition with no handling wear apparent.
Some very light knife cut marks in the central area of the plate.
A nice example of china tableware from Salisbury from almost 100 years ago!
