Famille rose armorial porcelain plate, 18th century, Qianlong period, China
A very beautiful mid-18th century famille rose porcelain plate with family crest, 9 inches in diameter and 0.7 inches high, with a large and extensive monogram in the center, possibly from a Dutch baronial family, with the initials VD (or DL), wearing a baronial crown? , surrounded by branches and bouquets of flowers, covered with beautiful overglaze famille rose gold enamel. According to the previous owner of the plate, the plate may have come from the Van Dedem family or the De Lawick family. I don’t know if this inference is correct. Please judge for yourself. I can confirm that the porcelain plate is a badge porcelain exported from China to Europe in the 18th century (Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty). The condition of the plate is not bad, there is a long crack, which has been simply glued and will not expand further, and there are small cracks on the edge of the plate similar to mouse bites, which will not affect the display effect. The display stand is not for sale.

Kerr & Binns Worcester Turquoise & Gold Armorial Crest Reticulated Plate 1852-62
Rare reticulated / pierced porcelain bone china dinner plate. Decorated with an armorial crest in black, gold, and red in the center above the motto Spera Semper Spera. The border is decorated in turquoise with small gold beads and raised gold stars. With gold gilding and gold highlights along the edge and to the reticulation. Scalloped gilding along the inner rim. Has an impressed Worcester mark without a crown, which was used by Kerr & Binns between 1852 and 1862. I have not been able to identical the armorial crest. The only mention of this motto I can find anything online is in a story called “The Class Ring” in an 1874 issue of Demorest’s Monthly Magazine, which translates the motto as Hope on, Hope Ever. Has crazing typical of bone china, staining of the type that may soak out, and two small hairlines to the reticulated edge, but otherwise good condition with no additional chips or cracks. Measures approximately 9 1/2 inches wide. This is an antique and may have small in manufacture defects that do not affect the display of the piece.

9 Pcs English Phillips London Minton Gold Greek Key Armorial Family Crest China
Wonderful fine porcelain china features the stamp for Phillips London, a leading retailer of Minton (as well as Royal Worcester and Wedgwood) at the time. All of the pieces are decorated with a gold Greek Key design and additionally each piece is marked with a really nice armorial crest. Surely the set was produced for a family with status. Included are 9 pieces. Four plates measuring approximately 9″ in diameter, two 9 1/2″ in diameter, one 11″ in diameter and a large open serving bowl measuring 9 3/4″ in diameter and 5 1/4 tall. There’s also an underplate measuring 12 from handle to handle. Interestingly, the plates do not have a traditional rimmed base but are flattened on the bottom. There’s also gold trim on the bottom. They sit well and would be fine to eat from but given the odd sizing and unusual bases which would sit securely in a hand it seems likely that they are serving pieces. There’s a bit of gold trim wear but otherwise I see no chips, cracks, or repairs. Please take a look at the pictures and let me know if you have any questions at all. Also, a note to overseas buyers. This item is in the category “Pottery & Glass\Decorative Cookware, Dinnerware & Serveware\Plates”. The seller is “popplebottom” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped worldwide.
