Doulton Burslem Scolloped Cobalt and Gilt Dish

This magnificent bone china dish has a cobalt blue background with a heavy gilt scrolled and foliate pattern around the border. The centre of the dish also has a gilt pattern featuring dainty branches of flowers. There is a sponged gilt edge to the rim on the back of the dish. This is a great cabinet piece. It has the Doulton Burslem backstamp for 1891 to 1901 and two pattern numbers RA2131 and C7682 both of which date manufacture to after 1897. The RA number recognises the artist Robert Allen. It is in mint condition with no damage and rings true when tapped.
