Machin Dessert Plate c.1825

A hand-painted Machin 'Harbold' bone china dessert plate of shaped and moulded form. Decorated in the centre with a group of fruit and leaves, in bright enamel colours. The plate rim moulded with groups of flowers. The base bears the hand-written pattern number, 558, in black. A fairly uncommon piece from the slowly emerging output of this, in it's day, quite important factory.
