Vintage ROYAL VENTON WARE Handled Petit Four order or Tidbit Plate | Cottage Garden Transfer Decoration under Glaze | Made in England

This charming 20 cm (~8") Royal Venton Ware plate features a bright and cheery cottage garden scene including sunflowers, poppies, delphiniums, wisteria, and more. Made by John Steventon and Sons, Burslem, England between 1923 and 1936, it probably started life as a sandwich plate, with the handle being added at a later date. It has one fine, 1.5 cm (~0.6") hairline at about 3:30, though it doesn't seem to go right through the plate and is not really noticeable. There is some age-related crazing but no discoloration. These blemished are reflected in the pricing. The glaze is shiny and the colors of the plants and flowers are strong and vibrant.

THE BUSY BOWERBIRD STORY
Busy Bowerbird collects and resells beautiful vintage and estate fashion jewelry and 20th-century home décor collectibles, which we ship from either San Francisco, USA, or Sydney, Australia. (Please see details in the Shipping section.)

We present items as they are and clearly indicate their condition. Many collectors prefer their jewelry to look genuine and authentic, which means showing a bit of the wear that naturally occurs with age. Likewise, vintage and antique porcelain may show signs of crazing. Only time can achieve these effects, however, you can polish your Busy Bowerbird treasure just the way you like.

Every item of jewelry we sell is in wearable condition. If there are any stones missing, we will order identify them in photos and our descriptions. The same applies if there is a minor issue with an item, e.g., it requires a minor repair. Likewise, we will point out any tarnish, scratches, loss of plating, etc.

We sell all items “As Is” and ship them in an appropriate-sized gift box, packed in bubble wrap. Every piece in our collection has been pre-loved and brings its own (possibly secret) story. Thanks for stopping by!
