Vintage Royal Doulton Sairey Gamp Dinner Plate Dickensware 10 3/8" D6327

Lovely vintage Royal Doulton Dickens Ware plate from the series timed for the centenary of Dickens' birth celebrated in 11912. This piece (D6327) dates from the 1949 – 1952 era. Sairey Gamp, byname of Sarah Gamp, is a comic fictional character in Dickens' novel Martin Chuzzlewit (1843–44). She’s a high-spirited old Cockney, a sketchily trained nurse-midwife who is as enthusiastic at laying out a corpse as she is at delivering a baby! This plate is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. The back stamp is that of Royal Doulton and states that is it Dickens Ware. It measures 10 3/8 “ diameter.
