believe to be from the late 1800's Chinoiserie Beech Hancock "Pekin" plate. Transfer printed and then hand enamelled in blues, oranges, and greens. The back of this plate is marked PEKIN B & H, the 'PEKIN' is inside a circle with dots around the edge. This plate is 6 1/2 inches across. As you can see from the photos this plate does have some of the edging color worn off and 2 sizab le chips on the back edge (not seen from the front and priced accordinly. I have not made any attempt to clean as a fear of removing any desirable patina. Please see photos for more details on design, condition and color.


This plate is in the earlier of the two "Pekin" patterns by Beech Hancock--the one with the smokers. Transfer printed and then hand enamelled in green, red, pink and yellow with a lustre border.

It shows the usual age crazing and some paint loss to the rim through use.
