I search for vintage event decor every week and sometimes venture across state borders to find the best items for you, and I am thrilled to present this popular set of 12 vintage Minton bread and butter (or cake) plates in their Ancestral pattern. This set of bone china beauties came from an estate outside Cape May, New Jersey.
Please view all ten photos; if you order this listing, you will receive these exact 12 plates. Perfect for bread and butter, cake, macarons, finger sandwiches, or anything your heart desires, each place measures 6.25" in diameter with an indented surface area of 3.5" (marvelous for cupcakes or muffins). They are in good vintage condition.
These were definitely used in their prior life and show signs of age such as a few utensil scratches. Each plate is white with a gold border (never place these in a microwave oven) and brown leaves and vines. The flowers are what I'd describe as teal or aqua and cranberry, and these colors were hand painted as is evidenced by some factory flaws of errant paint in a few areas.
The back of each plate is marked with S-376 ANCESTRAL MINTON FOUNDED 1793 BONE CHINA MADE IN ENGLAND; each plate is also stamped with MINTON CHINA I-59.
Perfect for your upcoming baby or bridal shower, bring these home afterward and enjoy them for decades to come. Bone china never goes out of style, and Minton is a highly-desired maker so these are destined to become your own heirlooms.
Your gorgeous plates will ship via US Mail to USA addresses only.
