Stunning Minton Porcelain Pearl Jewelled Landscape Dessert Plate Pink Ground

A superbly decorated bone china porcelain shaped dessert plate from Minton with ornate enamel and gilt border. A delicate French style pink ground sits just inside the gilt dentil rim. Then a pair of fine gilt edged bands of dark green enamel, sandwich a border of raised enamel "jewels" that appear strikingly like split pearls. This string of "pearls" are embellished with gilt dots and gilt, and intersected with gilt and enamel star-like flowers matching the scalloping of the rim. Finished with a gilt droplet edge to the inside of the plate. The centre is beautifully painted with a country landscape scene of two figures, an adult and a child, stood on a bridge in front of an impressive water mill with the river below and trees all around.

Factory marks impressed to the reverse and date cypher for 1871, also the pattern number A4314 is painted in red enamel.

It measures 23.2 (9 1/8") wide and 2.5cm (1") high.

In excellent condition: there is a small inconsequential chip to the foot rim, but no other issues and minimal handling wear.
