Royal Worcester Small Plate, Approximately 10 cm in Diameter Brand: Royal Worcester, a historic porcelain manufacturer founded in England in 1751. Series Name: "Alpine Flowers" series. This series features designs of six different flowers native to the Alps. Material: Made of fine bone china with gold trim. This item was inherited from my grandparents' home. These compact plates, about the size of "mamezara" (small plates) in Japan, are not often found in the West, making antique ones popular. These are called pin dishes and are useful for holding various items or for decoration. These plates were created by a famous British kiln. This is a very old item, and the purchase date and history are unknown. For those who understand antique items, thank you for your consideration. It will be carefully packaged and shipped via Yu-Packet Post Mini. If you have a preferred shipping method, I can accommodate it if you are willing to cover the difference in cost. Please let me know before purchasing. Thank you.
