Coalport Cairo Cabinet Plate Backstamp from 1881-1891 Diameter: Approximately 27cm A Chinoiserie design featuring exotic birds, butterflies, and plants lavishly painted with gold gilt (raised gold) on a deep cobalt blue (lapis lazuli) ground. The intricate hand-painting is a sight to behold and is luxurious. It gives off the air of a first-class piece. It has been stored. There are no scratches or chips. There is no fading of the gold gilt. It is in very good condition. I have examined it carefully, but there may be slight oversights. Please understand that this is an antique item before purchasing. Thank you.
