This is a set of 12 9 inch beautiful Coalport England plates. They have elegant cobalt blue and gold borders the borders of the plates are in very good condition. I see very little wear on the plates borders. Each plate is signed T. Howard, The center of each plate has a variety of floral bouquets, each is different as they are hand painted. There is signs of definite use, as the plates have scratches present however you have to look under the light to see the scratches. Some plates have two small scratches, some maybe four. For dishes this age it is not uncommon to find signs of use. There are no large scratches they are all less than 1/4. If you are interested in these plates contact me and I can photograph each plate for you. They are beautiful plates and are in good condition for the age of the pieces. It is however necessary that I honestly advise you that there is signs of use. They would make excellent cabinet pieces or hanging on the wall. They are elegant and very classy looking plates. Please view photos of the plates close up. PRICE has been reduced and I will not take any less for these plates.
