Unique Antique Imari 'Burmah" Pattern Plate
Sourced from the heart of the English Staffordshire Potteries, we believe it to be a pattern called Burmah by Royal Albion China Co. of Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, that was for reasons unknown, left unfinished!
We believe it may have been a test piece for pattern, glaze or firing, or potentially a practice piece, though sadly we will probably never know. It features a hand-painted delicate Chinoiserie design, of flowers, leaves and a large jardiniere. Either-way we think it's a special little plate in its own very unique, way.
Key Points:
• A antique hand painted cake/side plate
• In a delicate Chinoiserie floral design
• Hand overpainted in a palette consisting of hints of blue and green
• By Royal Albion Pottery, Stoke-on-Trent
History:
This transfer printed design is carefully hand over-painted in rich tones. This particular plate appears to missing its rust red and yellow areas to complete its design, so we assume this was test piece, or simply fired unfinished.
Year of manufacture:
c. 1920s
Pattern:
Burmah
Origin:
England
Approximate Measurements:
17cm Diameter
Condition:
In good antique condition given its years, though with some utensil marks from use (which can be seen when tipped to light). Free of chips, nibbles crazing or fade to paintwork.

Buyers Guide:
It is very important to note, that all the pieces Roof + Roof sell are genuine pieces of age, each having a rich and varied past and are never sold as in new condition. With this in mind, minor blemishes, surface scratches, manufacturing flaws and a general sense of their age and history are naturally to be expected. We always try, to the best of our ability to honestly and clearly communicate an items condition, both in our description and photography, highlighting anything over and above what we perceive as ‘general age related wear and tear'. We kindly ask you look closely at all our photos, using the zoom facility, as these naturally form part of the item's description.
Please be aware that your monitor, tablet, or mobile device may emulate colours/tones differently 'on screen' to that of the actual physical item, all of which are photographed and shown to the best of our abilities. Any item/prop shown in our photography is used for styling purposes only. Prior to purchasing, if you would like further clarification on any item, then we are always happy to help in any way possible.
