A pair of unchipped elegant antique Staffordshire plates about 10" across. Apparently used for dinner service with some light score marks. Attractive craqueleure pattern is starting to form, it isn't very prominent or visible yet. One plate is whiter than you would expect for the age, the other isn't quite so bright but not bad either. More than suitable for display or use. Images were taken on a scanner and anything set back from the glass comes out darker.
When you find top quality china in used condition, you have to think it must have come from some distinguished home such that they would be eating off something of this cost. So who knows who these might have belonged to? So add them to your service now!
