Bates Elliot & Co has produced this grouping of 6 plates. 8 inches diameter, they were made for cake and cookies or when serving salads or appetizers. In France, there are also perfect to eat cheese. The charming lavender decor features printed underglaze greek motifs. This pattern is called "Grecian Border". They're fabulous plates you'll enjoy using. Not just cabinet plates, this set will take you from informal to formal table settings in style. The mark on back was used in the 1870's: lavender underglaze maker mark noting "English Porcelain BE&Co", as maker, BE & Co for Bates Elliot and Co. One plate bears the impressed mark 7/73 that gives the manufacture date of July 1873, 150 years ago.
CONDITION: Good condition for age and type. The color can change from a plate to another (more or less purple). Some normals signs of ages like some light "tea" stains on the ironstone, light flaws of the enamel. A really wonderful old set. Please take a close look at the photos, they are an integral part of the description.
