Pretty Lavender Lady

I was delighted to find this lovely vintage plate in a charity shop.


Isn't it pretty?  I didn't realise until I looked closely at my photographs that you can just see the words "Lavender Lady" down at the bottom left of the picture.


Can't quite make out who the makers are - perhaps someone out there can help.



The plate is in perfect condition and not the least bit worn.  Love the details like the little tea set and the flounces in her dress.


Another lucky find.


Love, Liz

That is so pretty and since it says English Bone China you know it's a good plate.
Amazing what people have kept for years then donate it to a thrift shop
I love her beautiful dress

What a stunning plate, I had to look close but did see the words. I would love to jump into that scene and sit a while with the Lavender Lady.

It is a lovely design and am so glad you found a piece. I have a whole tea set given to me by my Mum a few years ago. She received the set as a wedding present in the 50's and passed it on to me. The set has 6 cups and saucers, 6 side plates, a sugar bowl and milk jug. I love it.

The makers name may be Cornish Ware. I enjoy reading your posts.

Its a great find Liz, you must have got there at the right time. Lovely china is becoming increasingly rare to find in the CS these days.
