Manufactured in Yorkshire, England. During the “Hanover” period within English history, George IV was on the throne and the “Tory” prime ministers of the time were The Earl of Liverpool, Vicount Goderich. …Just prior to The Duke of Wellington becoming Prime minister.

These are clearly dishes produced for a more “well to do” household, imagine what transformations and changes in social history they have survived

The plates are clearly stamped with the red griffin , identifying them as first period 1826-1840 backstamp

The hand painting is stunning and the skills of the artist are clear as the flowers are easily identifiable.
