Cath Kidston Plate Appraisal

Cath Kidston Style Floral Melamine Dinner Plate

This item is a circular dinner plate featuring a vibrant, multi-colored floral motif reminiscent of the 'Shabby Chic' or Cath Kidston aesthetic. The plate is likely constructed from melamine, a hard-wearing synthetic resin, indicated by the high-gloss finish and the style of the rim. The design consists of a light duck-egg blue or pale grey background adorned with dense clusters of pink roses, accent yellow flowers, and olive green foliage. A solid, deep magenta or hot pink border encircles the rim of the plate. Physically, the item appears to be standard dinner size (approximately 10-11 inches). Notable condition issues include visible surface scratches and some dark staining or residue on the left-hand side of the plate's face, possibly food-grade staining or aged adhesive. The construction is uniform with a slightly raised edge to contain liquids. Based on the pattern and material, this piece likely dates from the early 21st century (c. 2010-2020). The craftsmanship is characteristic of mass-produced contemporary household ware, focused on durability and repetitive decorative patterns rather than hand-painted artistry.
