Hi! I’m Sandra from South Pasadena in SoCal, where I love exploring thrift stores and estate sales. More than anything, I love having friends and family over and bringing people together in my home. I use many of my finds to decorate and make my home feel beautiful and inviting; and they usually make great conversation pieces, too. I love chinoiserie, Lenox, Fostoria's Cubist pieces, silverplate, brass, and, really, just beautiful old things. I keep pieces I love most and rehome the rest. ☀️

☀️ Antique W.H. Grindley "Antique" Green Floral Plates - Set of 4 (1895)

Beautiful matching set of 4 late Victorian plates in the highly collectible "Antique" pattern by W.H. Grindley & Co. (Staffordshire, England).

Dating back to their original patent registration year of 1895 (Rd No 250386), these ironstone plates feature an intricate teal-green/blue floral transferware border. The edges are elegantly scalloped with delicate hand-applied gold gilding highlights along the rim. They are perfect for holiday tablescapes, wall displays, or adding to your existing Grindley collection.

Measurements:Diameter: 9.75"

Condition Details (Please Read for Transparency): This 130-year-old set is free of any chips, cracks, or flea bites, but the four plates show varying degrees of historic aging:

2 Plates are in Very Good Vintage Condition: These two have an incredibly clean appearance with beautiful glossy glazes and only minimal, faint surface crazing upon close inspection.

2 Plates show Heavier Historic Crazing: These two feature prominent, all-over spiderweb crazing and light, natural under-glaze age toning/shadowing, which gives them a stunning, authentic antique look.

See other listings in my shop for matching creamer/sugar, gravy boat and platter

Safety & Use: Due to the age of these Victorian-era pieces and the natural breakdown of old glazes, we recommend this set strictly for decorative display use only (such as a stunning wall plate gallery or cabinet display) rather than daily food use.
