Антикварне блюдо для подачі страв

Antique English dish made of "stone porcelain" also known as "English porcelain". Such dishes were made in the nineteenth century in the city of Staffordshire. The marking indicates that it belongs to the British Empire (only prominent manufacturers had the right to put such a coat of arms in their stamps), and the motto DIEU ET MON DROIT belongs to the British monarchy. The signature "3/504" indicates the number of the pattern, which is made in the colors of Red & Blue Japan." The center is filled with a "Birds and Flowers" painting. The decoration combines Japanese and Chinese elements, reinterpreted by English craftsmen. The dish is in good condition for its age.
