Very nice set of 3 antique majolica plates measuring 8" across. Each plate has 3 overlapping leaves. The plates are very thick and heavy. There are no chips or cracks, but one plate has a couple of spots on the rim of loss of paint, but is not very notisable. The center of the plates have some loss of paint on the high points. Very hard to find a matching set!

Fabulous antique purple/mulberry handled platter, 1840's. Based on the backstamp, I believe it was made by John Ridgway around 1840's.
