ROYAL DOULTON - Pin Dish
Circa 1990
This chinaware is translucent, meaning that if held to a light source you can see the shadow of your fingers through the china.
Pattern: Arabella (H.5183)
Design: Butterflies & various springtime flowers including trumpets & daisy's with Pinks being the dominant colour
Pink top rim line decoration
I believe the artwork to be transferware, not hand painted. Although I can see a "randomness" in the design (particularly the Green ribbon stripe), it all looks a bit "perfect" to have been hand decorated
No Gold gilding is used
Backstamp is printed (under the glaze) in Lime Green
