This is a gorgeous antique plate from Samuel Alcock & Co., a renowned pottery that epitomized the golden age of 19th-century British porcelain. Samuel Alcock & Co. was a prestigious porcelain manufacturer that operated in Staffordshire, England from 1828 to 1859. The founder, Samuel Alcock (1797-1859), was highly regarded for his bone china and Parian ware, and was a prominent exhibitor at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London. This elegant plate features a vibrant magenta pink ground with delicate hand-painted floral motifs. Colorful flowers, primarily roses, are carefully depicted on the white porcelain. The rim is adorned with luxurious gilding and Rococo-style scrollwork, and its undulating, graceful form speaks to its status as a high-end item of the time. The 1830s were the peak of the company's production, and works from this period are particularly known for their high quality. Please enjoy the craftsmanship that has preserved its colors and brilliance for approximately 190 years. Size: Diameter: Approximately 22.5cm x Height: Approximately 2cm Condition: Slight paint loss on the surface. Shallow wear (small chips) on the rim. Some crazing of the glaze is visible due to age, but there are no cracks or significant damage. Considering its age, it is in good condition and can be enjoyed as a display piece. We hope you appreciate it as a characteristic of antique items.
