Description: Up for sale is a beautiful John Maddock & Sons Majestic Multicolored (Smooth Edge) Royal Vitreous Set of Six (6) Imperfect Bread & Butter Plates. At the time this listing was written, multiple place setting pieces, serving pieces, and extra pieces were available in this pattern, so be sure and check out my many other lots!
 
The bread & butter plates measure approximately 5.875” in diameter, and are marked with, or with a slight variation of the following backstamp: “John Maddock & Sons Ltd. Royal Vitreous Majestic”. The pieces have a white/cream base with a multicolor floral pattern, a smooth rim, and a gold trim/verge. The pattern has been discontinued with the years of manufacture unknown, though the pieces are believed to have been manufactured during the very late 1800s or very early 1900s.

In addition to the imperfections mentioned above, the pieces may show signs of use/wear as described below. The plates were acquired as part of a much larger set with little history known; however, no major condition issues (aside from those mentioned above) were noticed upon a thorough inspection. The plates do show moderate/heavy signs of use including: utensil scratches/marks, imperfections to the gold rim/verge, imperfections to the glaze, age spots/staining, pitting/impact chips, cleaning scratches/swirling and/or flea bites. Please also note that there may also be some light variation in the intensity of color, or small variations of item measurements between pieces throughout this set. Overall, I feel that the condition of this items appear fairly consistent with the expectations of items that are likely 115+ years old. If you have specific questions regarding condition, please don’t hesitate to contact me as I am more than willing to help in any way I can! Also, please refer to all pictures, as I consider pictures an essential part of my listings.
