Victorian "Hibiscus" Large Cake Plate

A Victorian hand-painted large cake plate or server. It is decorated with a series of hibiscus flowers trailing around towards the edge. The plate is ribbed around the centre and its edges scalloped. The piece is unmarked except for the initial of the painter on the back. In terms of style and quality, it is likely to be late Victorian English porcelain. The diameter of the plate is about 23 cm.

I also have four matching trios in this pattern available – listed separately.

The plate is in good condition considering its age with no chips, cracks or crazing. However, there is almost complete loss of gilding to the rim. Also, typical of Victorian porcelain, there are some impurities in the porcelain (black and brown specks) caused by the coal fires used to make this plate.
