This really is a lovely piece of very early Carlton Blush Ware. The background colour of the plate in a rich cream which is enhanced by a deep peach shading around the scalloped edge. The decoration is an ornate spray with 2 large peony flowers surrounded by other blossoms and foliage in shades of orange, yellow, green and brown, with the paint having a translucent sheen (see Photo 2). The rim is gilded and the overall effect is gorgeous. The plate is 8.75 inches in diameter at the widest and is 3/4 inch/1.9cms deep at the rim. The shallow circular base is 5 inches/12.2cms in diameter. The backstamp is, as seen in Photo 3, a brown W & R Crown and Swallow mark with "Peony" underneath and "RdNo290283", all of which means that the plate was made in 1897. Its excellent condition is all the more remarkable when its age of 113 is taken into account. The only issue is a slight irregularity in the gilding which I think is due more to poor application than to wear. I pride myself on being as accurate as possible in my descriptions. If, therefore, you buy the plate and feel, when you receive it, that it is not as described, please let me know as soon as possible and I will arrange a refund once it has been returned. PLEASE EMAIL ME BEFORE LEAVING FEEDBACK so I have the chance to deal with any problems first
