1. Design & Features:
- The Oriental Garden pattern enchants with its botanical vignettes—an elegant composition of a bird in mid-flight, fluttering butterflies, and a bouquet of florals framed by classical urns.
- It's a scene that feels at once tranquil and ornate, perfect for those drawn to chinoiserie and English garden aesthetics.

2. The Myott-Meakin Era:
- This plate was produced during a unique moment in Staffordshire’s ceramic history, when Myott & Sons Ltd. and Alfred Meakin (Tunstall) Ltd.—two well-established pottery firms—were operating under the same umbrella.
- Their eventual merger in 1976 created Myott-Meakin Ltd., and this piece captures the spirit of that transitional era: refined, enduring, and rich in heritage.

3. Craftsmanship:
- Marked as a genuine hand engraving with guaranteed permanent colour, this plate was made not just to be admired, but to be used and enjoyed for generations.

4. Uses & Versatility
- Ideal for display in a vintage plate wall arrangement, for collectors of English transferware, or for serving during special occasions.
- Its romantic design also lends itself beautifully to garden-themed tablescapes and tea parties.
