Royal Oak china plate
iew.php?i=234&u=13737206][/url]
An early Royal Oak butter plate handpainted in gold New Plymouth Greetings and a picture of the mountain, and groups of hand painted flowers.
Wondering why there are two stamps on the back.

Re: Royal Oak china plate
That's just one of many questions that need to be asked about this piece.
"Who made the plate?" is one, but ultimately I think that will prove to be unimportant.
Another is: "Why?"
It looks like some sort of special piece, and perhaps a test at the same time, with its mixture of hand work and transfers.
Were the transfers there before it came into Royal Oak's hands?
Etc.

Re: Royal Oak china plate
A great find dollcrown and the wavy plate shape isn't one that I'm familiar with. Perhaps these were acquired as blanks and decorated for a special order?
Re: Royal Oak china plate
I'm sure you are spot on there Ev. Was just happy to be able to post photos again.

Re: Royal Oak china plate
I have since been told that this plate would have been made by Owen Salisbury (as part of Royal Oak.) RO opened a warehouse in New Plymouth in 1956 so it was possibly made at about that time.
