This Coalport plate dates from 1815 – 20. Featuring an underglazed cobalt blue border, intricately adorned with gilt vines and an abundance of floral motifs. There were originally two Coalport factories, one run by John Rose and the other by his brother Thomas Rose. The John Rose factory proved more profitable and bought Thomas’ factory in 1814, making it the one Coalport factory that became so famous and collectable today.

Description
Designed in the UK, but nowadays probably manufactured elsewhere, these beautiful “tin” (in reality steel with an over-printed design) plates are ideal for your posh or not quite so posh picnics. So whether your taste is Glyndebourne or Henley, or the local beach or park these plates make fantastic re-usable and un-breakable picnic plates that are bound to set tongues wagging. Robust yet light and washable (if in a dishwasher on a gentle programme) and when the conversation flags can even be used as a Frisbee!
Alternatively if Al Fresco dining is not your biscuit then the plates are great for finger foods or simply as decoration. Until picked up, most people would not know these are not the original porcelain plates as used in some of the great British houses of centuries ago.
