This antique majolica plate was produced by Edge Malkin & Co, a noted Staffordshire pottery firm active in the 19th century. The design features overlapping cabbage leaves with delicate veining, framed by a raised basket weave border. The deep green glaze brings out the texture beautifully, creating a classic example of English cabbage ware.
The plate measures approximately 8 inches across. The underside bears the maker’s mark, “Edge Malkin & Co,” along with an impressed letter. The glaze shows some natural pooling on the back, and there is visible fine age-related crazing throughout, which is expected with antique majolica of this period. The piece remains in very good condition with no cracks or repairs noted, including no knife marks.
This is a fine decorative plate for collectors of English majolica, displaying beautifully on a wall or in a cabinet. The timeless leaf and basket weave motif makes it a desirable addition to any antique ceramics collection.
