Royal Grafton 'Garden' Pattern Fine Bone China Plate and Saucer Set

This set includes a side plate and matching saucer made of fine English bone china. The pieces feature a scalloped, 'morsel' style edge with heavy gold gilding. The design is characterized by a central transfer print of a scenic English garden scene, depicting a woman in a yellow crinoline-style dress tending to flowers near a stone sundial or plinth. Surrounding this central motif is a dense, all-over 'gold chintz' floral pattern consisting of filigree leaves and flowers in metallic gold over the white porcelain body. The saucer features a central indentation for a teacup (not pictured). The colors are vibrant, primarily featuring shades of blue, yellow, pink, and green within the pictorial scene, contrasting against the monochromatic gold overlay. Based on the style and typical production of Grafton (A.B. Jones & Sons), these pieces likely date from the mid-20th century (circa 1940s-1950s). The craftsmanship is characteristic of high-quality Stoke-on-Trent pottery with detailed transfer-ware application. Visible condition appears good with minor surface rubbing on the gold gilding consistent with age and light use, but no obvious cracks or chips are visible from this top-down view.
