There are a few very small dot marks on the front and on the underside, there are 3 small round flaws from when the plate was manufactured. Please inspect the photos. The black stand in the photos is not included. Jessie Tait worked for the Midwinter Pottery between 1946 and 1974. Jessie Tait was an iconic designer of the "Fine" Shape (1962-1978). Mexicana was the only hand painted pattern in the series, which can be seen as an early precursor of the iconic Stonehenge Pattern. Please remember when purchasing vintage items that they have a history attached to them and often show wear, which I do my very best to disclose. *Smoke-free home *Measurements are approximate *No filters used in photos (different lighting & screens may cause colors to vary). *I try to reuse/recycle clean packaging materials whenever possible. Thank you for browsing my closet. Happy Poshing.
