The design on this 10" plate is very Aesthetic Movement. The central but not centered ribbon is divided into four sections each with its own floral motif resembling Japanese fabric. At the center of this band is a rather humorous goat with a mustache as well as a beard! The ribbon is surrounded by large dahlias. The rim of the plate is lined with a faded gold. There is a one inch hairline at two o'clock which doesn't threaten the integrity of the plate. Other than that there are no chips, cracks or hairlines. Appearance is excellent. Take a look at all the photos for details. The plate was made in Staffordshire around 1880.
