A.G Richardson
"Crown Ducal"
Gainsborough
Reg # 749647 - this design number was registered in 1930 but that does not mean the maker produced product in that same year, it is only the year of design registration (in an effort to prevent copying)
9 inch diameter cake plate
This backstamp dates the production to be in the early to mid 1930's
**NOTE** on the front photograph of the plate there "appears" to be a small area of discolouration - this does not exist! I have a spot on the camera lens and this is not in reality on the plate.
Base colour is creme
Raised floral design with coloured floral outer ring which upon close inspection does appear to be hand-painted (irregularities between the flowers)
NO chips
NO cracks
NO damage to the artwork
NO crazing
