Description:
A pair of vintage Carrigaline Pottery Co. Ltd. plates from Cork, Ireland, each measuring approx. 15 cm in diameter. Shaped in the form of a shamrock leaf with gilt edging, these plates feature hand-coloured transfer scenes of Irish country life:

Both plates are bordered with shamrock sprays, celebrating Irish heritage and craftsmanship.

Condition: Both plates are vintage and pre-owned. They show light age and display-related wear, including some surface marks and crazing, but no chips, cracks, or repairs. Present very well for their age.
