RARE - Royal Albert - "The Gardenia" (England) - Cake Plate.
This is a striking, two-handled cake plate by Royal Albert in the dramatic "The Gardenia" pattern.
On the back is the Royal Albert Crown China (England) backstamp.
Produced during the Art Deco era (1920s-1930s), this pattern features white gardenias and green leaves on a matte black background.
The plate has two open handles and a scalloped edge. It's accented with shiny, golden trim.
The plate is in very good vintage condition. It's approx 10 5/8" (handle to handle). No chips, cracks or crazing. The colours are crisp and the gold edging is shiny. Slight glaze rub on one edge and some spots of colour loss as seen in photos.
