Antique Blue & White Ancient Ruins Dinner Plate - Ashworth



SOLD

Blue and white ironstone dinner plate by Ashworth in the Ancient Ruins design. It is impressed with the Crown mark and you can just about make out the word "Ashworth" beneath it. It is also impressed 6197. The orange script pattern number is B8702 which I think dates it to around 1897. It has a gilded edge which is slightly worn in a couple of places but still largely intact, I think because it has been on display - there are a couple of small rust marks on the footring from one of those awful sprung metal clips. It is also crazed but not to the point of distraction. note - the truer colour is the darker blue as displayed in the close up pictures.

Diameter: 23.5cm
