Noritake and Royal Doulton Earless BB Plates The designs are lovely, so I used them for serving bread, sandwiches, cakes, fruits, etc. When you hold them up to the light and look closely, you can see signs of use such as scratches, marks, and water stains. Noritake Plate Diameter: 26.5cm, Height: 2.8cm In addition to the above, there is discoloration on the gold rim. I like the relief pattern. Royal Doulton Plate Diameter: 27cm, Height: 2cm In addition to the above, there are areas where the gold gilding is thin. Photos 16-19
