Royal Doulton D6344 - Bobby Burns Plate

Royal Doulton Bobby Burns Plate D6344

On offer this very collectible Royal Doulton "Burns" plate in excellent condition with no damage to report.  It has a diameter of 27cm.  The underside of the plate is stamped with the factory mark.  This is an outstanding example of the many collections of Series Ware that Royal Doulton produced in celebration of people, places, events, and literature significant to British history.

At the center of the plate is a formal, etched portrait of Robert Burns (1759–1796), also known as “Rabbie” or “Bobby” Burns. He was called “Scotland's favorite son,” and often, the “Ploughman Poet” – in the background of the portrait, a ploughman and his team of horses are depicted. Burns’s work defined him as a spokesman for the common man, and the political and social commentary in his poems was sometimes blunt. Bordering the plate are other characters, including Holy Willie, Highland Mary, Duncan Gray, etc. 

Lovely find - Perfect for your Collection!!!
