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.
