The 19th century leaf-shape dessert dish decorated beautifully in enamels with a floral sprig and with a Blanc de Chine style border of similar fruits and flowers in relief and a red highlighted bow - that looks in good condition, no problem with chips or hairlines etc. A series ware style plate of Modern English Bone China by Fenton China Co decorated with a coaching scene is in good condition. There is Spode Bone China plate decorated with a hunting scene 'Full Cry' after the original painting by J F Herring Snr - also in good order.
