Westminster Fine China Plate

This is a fine china plate, circular in shape, featuring a classic white ceramic body with a subtle, yet elegant, gold-colored rim. The underside of the plate, as depicted, is smooth and glazed, suggesting it is made from high-quality ceramic or porcelain. A key identifying feature is the backstamp located at the center of the underside. This mark includes a stylized crown graphic, above the words "FINE CHINA," followed by "WESTMINSTER," then "AUSTRALIA," and finally "1111." This indicates the manufacturer as Westminster and its origin as Australia, with "1111" likely being a pattern number or production code. The plate appears to be in good condition, with no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear to the glaze based on the available image. The gold-colored trim around the edge of the plate's upper side (visible as a thin line along the rim) shows no apparent fading or flaking, indicative of careful handling or good quality application. The overall aesthetic suggests a timeless design, possibly from the mid to late 20th century, which would be consistent with the type of fine china productions from Australia during that period. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with a smooth, even surface and clearly defined manufacturer's mark. The raised circular area near the center of the backstamp is likely a footring or part of the manufacturing process to ensure stability when stacked.
