- Good - This plate is in good vintage condition.
- This particular piece has all-over crazing, a network of fine surface cracks visible throughout the plate.
- While this doesn’t detract from the plate’s structural integrity, it adds a sense of age and character, making this a true vintage treasure.
- The crazing gives the surface a slightly textured appearance under close inspection, adding depth to the glossy finish and reinforcing its antique charm.

1. Central Bouquet:
- The heart of the plate displays an intricate floral arrangement, where a delicate bouquet of roses, wildflowers, and blossoms is rendered in fine, crisp blue.
- The flowers burst forth with classic English charm, showcasing meticulous detail that contrasts beautifully with the white background of the plate.

2. Border and Rim:
- Encircling the plate’s edge is a stunning, wide band of geometric patterning.
- The blue lattice-like design, featuring overlapping lines that create a rich texture, is framed by a delicate zig-zag edge.
- This border provides a perfect contrast to the white, drawing the eye toward the centre while adding a sophisticated, almost regal touch to the plate.

3. Floral Accents:
- Four smaller blue floral clusters are spaced evenly around the plate, further emphasising the central floral theme and balancing the overall design.
- Each accent matches the central bouquet in intricacy, creating a harmonious flow from the centre to the rim.

4. Craftsmanship:

- The fine porcelain, detailed blue transferware patterns, and delicate floral artistry reflect the meticulous craftsmanship that has made Wedgwood a cherished name in tableware for centuries.

5. Versatility:
- While ideal for serving lunches, this luncheon plate also serves as a decorative item in a display cabinet or on a wall.
- Its timeless blue and white pattern complements a range of tableware collections, making it suitable for formal dining, tea parties, or as a standalone display piece.
