BALMORAL CHINA R & D Ltd MADE IN ENGLAND Antique, Made in England 1920s ⚫︎ Rare Item Square Plate The golden age of British ceramics, the 1920s. Balmoral China porcelain was born in an era when people were trying to regain the "beauty of life." It is a brand line developed by Redfern & Drakeford. Even in an era that was leaning towards mass production, the craftsmanship of artisans was preserved in the painting and gold decoration, and it was created with the ideal of "high-quality, yet everyday-usable British porcelain." Based on the backstamp, this piece was manufactured in the 1920s. Reflecting the post-World War I recovery period, when people sought color and hope in their lives again, the tableware of the time also reflected a gentle elegance. The slightly rounded square shape gives a sense of the Art Deco influence that was popular at the time, with a form that beautifully harmonizes straight lines and curves. With its depth, it is not just a decorative plate, but also has practicality ❉ A quiet story of Chinoiserie, reflecting a longing for the distant East, can also be felt from this porcelain. The red-orange floral pattern is hand-painted, with the nuances of the petals and the movement of the leaves, the breath of the brushstrokes remains. The gold decoration applied to the black panel tightens the whole, adding a touch of British dignity to the loveliness. For afternoon tea time, serving baked goods and fruits.
