Royal Albert "Lady Carlyle" Large Cake Plate

A Royal Albert large cake plate or server in the stunning "Lady Carlyle" pattern. It is decorated with a big central posy of various flowers and four cartouches containing pink roses, blue-bells and forget-me-nots, interspersed with a deep pink border. The edge is scalloped, while the handles feature a particularly lovely raised and gilded pattern (see close-up photo). The back stamp dates the manufacturing of this trio to the period 1950s-1970s when it was manufactured in England, unlike later examples which were made in Asia. I also have on offer a matching milk jug. 

Condition: The plate is in excellent condition, with no chips, cracks or grazing that I can detect. The gilding is perfect and the colours are bright. I suspect it has rarely if ever been used.

Dimensions: The plate measures about 26.5 cm from handle to handle and 23 cm from top to bottom.
