Westminster started business in 1954 (Melbourne) and used quality fine china blanks which were then skillfully decorated locally here in Australia.
WESTMINSTER
China Saucer ONLY
Fine china base
Translucent (semi-transparent, which means you can see your fingers through the china when held to the light)
White background
The design (399) depicts violets with foliage.
This looks to be transferware, NOT handpainted
Gold gilding around the rim
Dimensions: 135mm diameter
BACKSTAMP INFO:
Gold metallic graphic print
FINE CHINA
WESTMINSTER CHINA (folded around a graphic)
AUSTRALIA
399
CONDITION:
NO chips
NO cracks
NO discolouration
NO crazing
There is wear in the centre of the saucer, where the design "drops" down into the teacup base area
There is also some light wear to the rim gold gilding, noticeable but in my opinion not substantial and the wear tends to be on one side (where the saucer would have been held)
