DUCHESS - Yellow & White Daisies Saucer ONLY
Made in England
Circa period 1960's ~ 1980's
Fine White Bone China
Translucent, meaning if held to the light you can see your fingers through the china
Transferware decorated
Yellow and a White daisy flower with foliage on a pure white background
Scalloped rim
Gold gilding to the rim edging only
BACKSTAMP DETAILS:
Backstamp design strongly suggests this saucer was made in the period 1960's ~ 1980's based on the Crown graphic placed at the top of the backstamp, very clean, simplified backstamp design and the use of transfer for the decoration.
Black colouring
(Simple graphic of a crown)
