Vintage Simpsons Marlborough Ironstone Plate Fruit Embossed Rim Gold England 9"

A beautiful vintage plate from Simpsons (Potters) Ltd. of England. This piece is from their "Marlborough Old English Ironstone" line, known for its quality and classic designs. The plate features a vibrant and colorful transfer in the center, showcasing a cluster of assorted fruits and nuts, including ripe strawberries, blackberries, red currants, and hazelnuts. The wide rim is just as detailed, with a lovely embossed (raised) white-on-white floral and scrollwork pattern, often referred to as "embossed grape." The edge is elegantly scalloped and finished with a classic gold gilt trim, adding a touch of sophistication. Key Details: Brand: Simpsons (Potters) Ltd. Line: Marlborough Old English Ironstone Origin: Made in England Material: Ironstone Pattern: Mixed Fruit & Nuts with Embossed Border Approx. Size: 9 inches in diameter Condition: This is a true vintage piece and shows signs of its age. As visible in the photos, there is crazing (a fine network of cracks in the glaze) consistent with vintage ironstone. This does not affect its structural integrity and adds to its authentic antique charm. This plate is perfect for display in a cabinet, on a wall, or as part of a farmhouse, cottagecore, or traditional kitchen decor scheme. A lovely piece for any collector of English ironstone. Please review all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the item's description. As this is a vintage, pre-loved piece, all sales are considered final and returns are not accepted.
