Description
Orange and blue blossoms stand out against the deep cobalt border of this Rococo & Poppy side plate. Scalloped edges and gilt details add movement to the named floral pattern, while its single-piece form suits a cabinet display or an existing service. The plate sits naturally among other English tea and coffee table pieces.
The supplied identification records a crowned R.H. & S.L. Plant mark, England, the pattern name Rococo & Poppy and registered design number 351549. These markings support the maker and pattern more securely than the ornament alone. The design registration is reported as dating to 1900; that is the registration date, not necessarily the manufacture year of this particular plate. The source associates the maker with the Tuscan Works in Longton, Staffordshire, where floral decoration formed part of English ceramic production. The current listing grades the plate Excellent and reports no chips or cracks. That information can be retained without suggesting that photographs reveal every fine hairline, rim defect or earlier restoration. For more context on the decoration and identification, see the Journal guide to collecting vintage ceramics.
