Condition | Surviving dated and inscribed plates in English delftware are rare. Plates were dated to commemorate special occasion, and were probably displayed within the home and only used during celebrations. The "mimosa" pattern was very fashionable during the second quarter of the 18th century. Fragments showing the "mimosa" design have been found in London, Bristol and Wincanton and Liverpool and, although slight differences can be attributed to each production area, attribution is very difficult. |
