The item for sale is a group of five dessert or salad plates that were made in England by George Warrilow and Sons around the middle of the nineteenth century.  The manufacturer was bought by Rosina many years later.  The maker's mark says Queens Ware.  The pattern is sometimes referred to as Imari border with cobalt blue underneath the transparent glaze.  There is extensive gilded decoration and hand painted iron red enamel on top of the transparent glaze.  The plates were previously owned.  The condition is almost essentially the same as when the plates were made.  Aside from a small chip in the foot of one of the plates, there are no chips nor cracks.  There is a gilded ring in the center of the plates that shows some wear.  Most of the heavy gilding around the rim does not have very much wear.  There are almost no utensil marks.  The diameter of the plates is 7 3/4".
