Royal Albert Bone China 'Harvest Bouquet' Ceramic Plate

This item is the base of a fine bone china plate manufactured by the renowned English firm Royal Albert. The piece is crafted from high-quality, translucent white bone china and features a classic circular foot ring. The central backstamp is prominently displayed in the middle of the well, featuring the Royal Albert crown logo in black, followed by the text 'ROYAL ALBERT Bone China ENGLAND'. Below this, the specific pattern name 'HARVEST-BOUQUET' is printed in a contrasting red serif typeface. There is a small, dark blue hand-painted potter's mark or decorator's mark below the primary stamp, which is a common indicator of individual quality control during the manufacturing process. The 'Harvest Bouquet' pattern typically dates to the mid-20th century, roughly the 1960s or 1970s. Physically, the glaze appears smooth and highly vitrified with a brilliant luster. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy crazing, though a few minute dark specks are visible in the glaze, which are likely minor kiln inclusions or marks from use. The scalloped edge visible at the top of the frame suggests a traditional ruffling characteristic of many Royal Albert dinnerware lines.
